Is it real or fake? That was the buzz at the US Open today. Roger Federer’s trick shot video has taken the world by storm and even the Maestro took notice.
“I couldn’t believe the amount of hits I got,” Federer said during the Open’s media day. “I’m happy, then, that so many people have seen it, liked it, and debated about it. I was shocked.”
For those who haven’t seen it, the video posted on You Tube shows Federer hitting a bottle off the head of a person, not just once, but twice in a row.
According to Federer it took “one or two takes … five, 10 minutes, and that was it. It was at one of the shoots I did after Wimbledon in Zurich, and we had a fun time doing it.”
So is it real of fake?
According to defending women’s champion Kim Clijsters: “Let me just say that I would not hold that thing on my head even if it was Roger Federer. There’s your answer.”
Andy Murray was even blunter. Saying, “There is no way it is real.”
So is it real of fake? We will let you decide.
