Federer's "Backhand Boys" Take On Chicago

Swiss maestro releases second music video with Dimitrov and Haas

The late ‘90s had the Backstreet Boys and N’Sync, while the late 2000s had the Jonas Brothers. Could the “Backhand Boys” become this decade’s boy band craze?

Roger Federer released the world debut of himself, Grigor Dimitrov and Tommy Haas taking a second crack at singing “Hard To Say I’m Sorry,” the classic ‘80s song from American rock group Chicago, during an on-court interview at the BNP Paribas Open on Thursday. He then posted the video to his Twitter account shortly after.

The new release is a follow-up to their initial attempt at the track in January. Haas’ father-in-law, world-renowned record producer and musician David Foster, once again accompanied them on piano.

Looking more comfortable as a man band, the trio’s vocal range has improved noticeably over the past two months. They even upped the production value of the new release by including a cameo appearance from Novak Djokovic.

The Swiss maestro returns to a more familiar vocation on Saturday when he plays either Jack Sock or Kei Nishikori for a place in the BNP Paribas Open final.
