Tennis legend Roger Federer recently launched a new line of luxury eyewear in collaboration with the American brand Oliver Peoples. The collection, unveiled at a star-studded event in Los Angeles on March 13th, 2024, offers stylish frames for any occasion.
The collection features a unique detail – the number “8” subtly incorporated on the side frames. This serves as a tribute to Federer’s record-breaking eight Wimbledon victories.
Among the attendees at the launch event was Lindsey Vonn, the iconic American skier and a friend of Federer. Vonn looked stunning in a red suit and shared photos from the evening, congratulating Federer on his new venture.
Vonn’s post included pictures with Federer and fellow tennis star Maria Sharapova. The caption read:
“Congratulations on your new ️ launch Rog! @rogerfederer. It was a wonderful evening celebrating this new expansion of your brand with some great friends. Cheers!”
This news comes after Vonn’s playful social media exchanges regarding the “GOAT” (Greatest Of All Time) debate in tennis. Following a comment praising Federer, she was seen training with Novak Djokovic, sparking a different kind of online buzz.
Despite the initial fan reaction, Vonn documented her training session with Djokovic, expressing her gratitude for the opportunity. She hinted at a future tennis showdown between them, jokingly adding that Djokovic might need some ski training in return.
Both Federer’s brand expansion and Vonn’s playful training session highlight the lives of these legendary athletes beyond their competitive careers. They continue to engage fans and explore new ventures, keeping their names in the headlines.
