Federer shows off his footy skills

Roger Federer is not only a world-class tennis player, but the man has some pretty decent footy skills too.

The tennis star showed off his soccer footwork — dressed in a full Brazil kit — before a match against Tommy Haas in Sao Paulo. Federer and Haas knocked around an oversized tennis ball prior to their match, a part of the Gillette Federer Tour.

Federer also met Brazilian legend Pele, who tweeted out this picture of the two.

What a cool moment between two sports legends!
