Here’s your roundup of the five most interesting things I’m enjoying or thinking about this week.
1.) Federer’s Documentary
After the ATP Finals, Roger Federer and Alexander Zverev hoped on a jet to play five exhibition matches throughout Latin America, including their record-setting match in Mexico City.
ESPN tagged along to produce a quick 30-minute video documenting their experience. Their experience was covered on social media, but I enjoyed going behind the scenes.

The Swissmint is honoring Roger Federer by making him the first living person to be recognized with a commemorative coin. The 20-franc silver coin sold out within a day. Demand was so high it crashed the Swissmint’s website.
