Was Roger Federer exploring other career options during his time off? The Swiss maestro posted a video to his Twitter account of himself, Grigor Dimitrov and Tommy Haas singing “Hard To Say I’m Sorry,” the classic ‘80s song from American rock group Chicago.

It was their seventh meeting at a major championship (Federer leads 5-2). “I didn't expect this as such, to be honest, especially not this kind of a scoreline," said Federer.
