Many rumors are circling about a potential movie on the Roger Federer And Rafael Nadal's rivalry, after the great success of the 2017 sports movie on the rivalry between Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe, directed by Janus Metz and starring Sverrir Gudnason, Shia LaBeouf and Stellan Skarsgård.
Leonardo Di Caprio is one of the actors, whom Roger Federer had picked as his choice to play him in the movie, a while back. “I don't know if there will ever be a film about me and Rafa, but if they did, I would like someone like Leonardo Di Caprio, Matt Damon or James Bond to play me!" the Swiss had said in a funny interview.
The 20-time Slam champion has only played the Australian Open this year, then deciding to undergo surgery on his right knee to resolve an injury that has been plaguing him for some time. The former world no. 1 is expected to come back to the court for the grass-wing, but nothing is known for sure as the Coronavirus (Covid-19) emergency has already forced ATP to suspend the Tour for the next six weeks, right up to the week of 20th April. According to the ATP notification, all tournaments on the ATP Tour and the ATP Challenger Tour will not be played up to that week. The Monte Carlo Rolex Masters and the Barcelona are the biggest tournaments that have been cancelled as a result.
Wimbledon 2020 will start on June 29th, although the All England Club would be considering all the hypotheses in these days. In the meantime, fans can dream: if a movie about Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal is really being planned, all the sporting world could look forward to it!
