Roger Federer reveals why he doesn’t wear sleeveless and capri pants

Roger Federer was never seen wearing sleeve-less or capri pants alike his arch-rival Rafael Nadal. Rafa has worn those numerous times in his career. Also, during the 2018 Australian Open, Nadal was wearing his iconic cut-sleeves. En route to his 20th Slam victory in Australia, Jim Courier asked Roger Federer: “Your great rival Rafa has come out in sleeve-less once again. When are you going sleeveless like Rafa?” The Swiss had a pretty logical answer to it and stated that it won’t happen ever because he does not possess those muscular arms like Nadal. “That’s not gonna happen. You know why? My arms are not like his arms. It’s pretty simple. I do love his look, though, this is the Rafa I knew when he was growing up,” Federer said. Federer revealed an interesting part from the past when Nike had a notion to sponsor him those capri pants. “I remember Nike gave me those Capri pants to try before he actually wore them. And I remember I put them on at my home tournament in Basel. I came out and all the players were like “what are these things.” And I was just like, ‘I’m just testing them, I’m never playing in them,’” Federer revealed. “That was when I was like, “I can’t make this work for me”, and then I think [Carlos] Moya rocked them and then Rafa after, it was a great look for him with the long hair. I would also love him to rock the Capri pants again. But he says not any more so unfortunately not,” he added. Source: esentiallysports
