Former Swiss tennis player, Roger Federer and Springboks captain, Siya Kolisi continue to show fantastic friendship goals.
In 2020, Roger played his tennis match against Rafael Nadal where Siya came in and handed him his Springboks jersey. A video of the two surfaced the internet again after Roger returned the favour and went to watch the Springboks final game of the Rugby World Cup.
In the video, Siya was also asked to toss for the match choosing who was going to serve between Roger and Rafael.
Many people were flattered by this beautiful sportsmanship shown in the heartwarming video.
One social media user said:
“His video is so fulfilling, so made my day SuperSport.”
Another social media user added:
“What a blessing. And honour for our SA Captain. There is hope for our country South Africa.”
As the beautiful bromance continues, in a CNN interview, Roger wished Siya and the team, good luck. During the 2023 Rugby World Cup final, social media was flooded by many videos showing Roger rooting for the Springboks.
