  Global apparel retailer UNIQLO announces the release of the fifth instalment of its ‘24 Hours with Roger’ series. In the newest film, Roger Federer takes fans around Paris on an unforgettable trip to one of the world’s most storied, grand, and gorgeous cities. From cultural landmarks to artists’ studios, to tennis courts on the outskirts of the city–fans get to know a side of Roger they’ve never seen before, taking in one of the world’s great cities through his eyes.

 

Centre Court at the Palais Garnier

Roger kicks off his Paris series with a trip to the Palais Garnier, centre court for the Paris Opera Ballet. He gets the opportunity to draw parallels between tennis and ballet as he observes how these incredible athletes rehearse.

 

Fête le Mur: Where the Idea of Tennis Runs Deep

Next, Roger heads to the suburb of La Courneuve, visiting Fête le Mur, a tennis non-profit created by tennis icon, Yannick Noah. Here, Roger enjoys a game and chat with the neighborhood’s local tennis players on a colorful court created by French artist Caroline Derveaux and donated to the community by UNIQLO. After running through some tennis basics, Roger sits down and listens to the stories of what brought these young women to the court and what it took to get there.

 

Let the Beat Drop: A meet-up with DJ Bob Sinclair

For his last stop of the trip, Roger pays a visit to his longtime friend and DJ extraordinaire: Bob Sinclair. They create a "Roger Federer remix" of Bob's famous track "Save Our Soul.” The crowd goes wild!
