#GameSetMattek: Roger Federer gives Bethanie some life advice

Defending US Open doubles champion Bethanie Mattek-Sands has long been a charismatic and beloved member of the traveling tennis circus. But during Wimbledon, she suffered a major injury that even threatened to end her career. While Bethanie recovers, she’s here in New York with #GameSetMattek—taking us behind-the-scenes with exclusive access to many members of the tennis community.

So you have three minutes to speak with the greatest of all time. What do you say?!

In this case, Roger Federer did the majority of the talking, advising the injured American to enjoy her time off and look at it as a positive.

When the pep talk concluded, they discussed their leisurely time in The Hamptons and, of course, the 19-time Grand Slam champion’s sweet shoes.
