«For me, the surprise started when I actually decided to go to Finale Ligure in person., Federer says, «He had also considered organizing the meeting in another place, then Barilla suggested that it would have been fantastic if I could have gone to the roofs where the girls had actually played. That day, their reaction to my arrival could not have been nicer, and more surprising. Personally, for me that was it a special moment in my career as a tennis player, in which I had the opportunity to surprise young fans like Carola and Vittoria ".
