The Popular Computer Scientist & Philanthropist BILL GATES is overwhelmed as he fulfils on his dream tonight. MICROSOFT billionaire Bill Gates has revealed what it is like teaming with Roger Federer in a charity match. The duo took part in a doubles match this morning against Jack Sock and Savannah Guthrie - host of NBC Today show - for a charity fundraiser event.
But Gates, 62, says he has had to practice hard and serious to play alongside the best player in the world. “We have talked tactics already and he has got me training,” Gates said. "It is pretty serious.”
Federer and Gates partnered each other at a charity event in Seattle last year in front of 16,000 people.
They were able to raise £1.4million for the Roger Federer Foundation by playing against Pearl Jam musician Mike McCready and John Isner.
Gates was asked what Federer has taught him after training with the Swiss star on a number of occasions.
And he replied: “Almost everything.
“How to enjoy it, how to hit the ball really well and really hard.”
