Roger Federer hasn’t let the coronavirus pandemic, nor the snow in his native Switzerland, stop him from honing his tennis skills.
On Monday, the Swiss star shared a video to social media in which he showcased some impressive between-the-leg and behind-the-back shots against a backboard.
“Making sure I still remember how to hit trick shots #TennisAtHome,” he said alongside the video, which has now been watched nearly 3.5 million times.

When he's not practicing in the snow, Federer has been using his time to help fight the COVID-19 crisis in Switzerland, which has killed 359 people to date.
The 38-year-old announced last week that he and his wife, Mirka, had donated $1 million to vulnerable families in his homeland.
"These are challenging times for everyone and nobody should be left behind," he said on Instagram. "Mirka and I have personally decided to donate one million Swiss Francs for the most vulnerable families in Switzerland.
