WATCH | Roger Federer sends fans into a fit of laughter with cheeky comment over kid’s cry
Roger Federer is known for his ability to send the crowd to a tizzy through his inimitable style, but, on Tuesday, the Rod Laver Arena crowd saw the funny side of the Swiss Maestro. When a baby suddenly started crying in the arena, Federer passed on a cheeky comment stating, “It’s is not mine”.

Federer was then playing Kei Nishikori in the Rod Laver Arena at the same time.
