00:00Hi, I'm Erin, a Who What Wear editor. Come with me to spend a few days in Newport, Rhode Island
00:05for Roger Federer's Tennis Hall of Fame induction. Roger walked under the court wearing this Wilson
00:11bag and these on sneakers. He played doubles with some fellow tennis legends and Lindsey
00:16Vaughn was the chair umpire. Roger has an ongoing Oliver Peoples collab so I checked out their
00:22pop-up shop after the match. I tried on the Mr. Federer 2 glasses with a special Hall of Fame
00:27inscription, but I ended up getting the Mrs. Federer glasses designed by his wife Mirka.
00:33Then it was time for a matcha, a spring line coffee, which is Maria Sharapova's favorite
00:37coffee shop in Newport. Next was a dinner where Roger got his customized Brooks Brothers blazer
00:43that every Hall of Fame inductee receives. How she. Then it was back to my cute hotel, the
00:49Wayfinder. The next day I went to the museum at the Tennis Hall of Fame where so many cute
00:54tennis outfits on display, both vintage and modern. Tracy Austin wore this one to the U.S.
01:00Open in 1977. Finally, it was time for the induction ceremony. I spotted Anna Wintour in
01:05the crowd. Roger's wife Mirka wore a Dior dress to introduce him. It was her first public speech
01:11speech in decades. Lastly, I'll leave you with a quote from Roger's very emotional speech.
01:16And always remember, never stop asking questions or taking risks. Do things with the game we've
01:21never seen before, keep pushing the sport we love to the next level.
01:25Do things with the game we've never seen before.
01:25I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know.
