Roger Federer sheds tears for Bocelli
NewsWe know the tennis champ loves to have a weep at Wimbledon.
We also know he loves music, Beethoven especially.

Here’s what happened.
Roger was spotted at an Andrea Bocelli concert in Zurich. Bocelli called him onto stage and sang Nessun dorma.
Roger blubbed.
Watch video here.

You can do it too.
Believe in yourself.

Pathetic. I respect Federer and Puccini immensely — bizarre combination — but this is just nonsense.

Can Fremdschämen make you cry?!
It could be the music or a memory.
I love Roger’s tears when he is full of emotion. But Bocelli is just painful to listen to and that finale was cringeworthy.
I would cry too, for the hatchet job on Puccini.
Federer is crying because he knows that he non vincerà più.
I’d be blubbing but for very different reasons… the death of singing
Is there a video of Anderson Cooper reacting to this?
Two greats. A magical moment.
Wish I had been there.
Man it up, Fed.
