Miami Mix: Federer’s Hidden Talent
Miami Mix: Federer’s Hidden Talent
Roger Federer turned his skills to mixing music this week in Miami during a party for Moët & Chandon at Sugar, a rooftop bar 40 stories up at EAST, Miami hotel. Federer teamed with renowned DJ Nora En Pure, who has a South African and Swiss heritage, like the 25-time ATP World Tour Masters 1000 champion.
Federer was also presented with a special bottle of Moët & Chandon champagne to mark his 90th tour-level title, achieved last weekend at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.
“Moet Moments are always different and creative,” Federer said. “Tonight is with a really cool DJ in Miami. So why not? The location is stunning and I love music, so that makes it a very cool event.”
Federer joked that he felt out of his comfort zone playing guest DJ. “I got nervous out there. It got complicated… a lot of buttons to be pressed and listening to the music blurred the rest of my brain. Anyway, it was great fun and we had a great time. I got a special bottle with No. 90 on it and I met a lot of cool and interesting people.”
On Saturday Federer will begin his quest for a third Miami Open title at Key Biscyane. Federer has enjoyed an outstanding start to 2017, winning his 18th Grand Slam title at the Australian Open and his fifth title in Indian Wells.
