The two stars, both ambassadors of Switzerland Tourism, met in the picturesque backdrop of Zurich\u2019s La Reserve Eden au Lac.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Neeraj, who clinched India's second individual Olympic gold in the Tokyo Olympics, expressed his awe for Federer's skill, sportsmanship, and ability to inspire millions worldwide.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"An absolute honour to meet a sporting icon, whose career has been and continues to be an inspiration to people. I had a great time talking to you, and hopefully we\u2019ll meet again.@rogerfederer,\u201d said Neeraj after the meeting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The two sports icons exchanged notes about their passions, life experiences, and the shared responsibility of being Switzerland Tourism ambassadors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
For Federer, the admiration was reciprocal. The 20-time Grand Slam winner lauded Neeraj's remarkable achievements, citing his grit and determination as catalysts for personal and national success.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI am amazed by how much Neeraj has achieved personally and for his country through his grit and determination. It\u2019s been great to meet him here in Zurich,\u201d the 20-time Grand Slam winner was quoted as saying in a report.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In a gesture of sportsmanship, Federer presented Neeraj with an autographed tennis racquet, while Neeraj reciprocated with a signed India jersey from the Asian Games.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Reflecting on the encounter, Neeraj expressed gratitude for the valuable advice received from the Swiss legend, inscribing a message on the jersey, \"It was very nice meeting you. Thank you for the advice; I will follow.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Neeraj, eyeing a repeat of his Olympics success in the upcoming Paris 2024 Games, has continued to make history post-Tokyo. Clinching a silver and an unprecedented gold at the World Athletics Championships, and retaining his Asian Games gold at Hangzhou, he stands as a beacon of India's sporting prowess.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/01\/neeraj-chopra-meets-roger-federer-says-its-a-dream-come-true-for-me.jpg", "alt_img": "Neeraj Chopra meets Roger Federer, says: \u2018It\u2019s a dream come true for me\u2019", "alt_title": "Neeraj Chopra meets Roger Federer, says: \u2018It\u2019s a dream come true for me\u2019 ", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Neeraj Chopra Meets Roger Federer, Says: \u2018It\u2019s A Dream Come True For Me\u2019 On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Neeraj Chopra Meets Roger Federer, Says: \u2018It\u2019s A Dream Come True For Me\u2019, La Reserve Eden: Indian Olympic and world champion javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra found himself in the company of tennis legend.", "seo_keywords": "Neeraj Chopra, Roger Federer, Indian Olympic, Switzerland Tourism, La Reserve Eden, Tokyo Olympics, For Federer, Grand Slam, Asian Games, World Athletics Championships", "tag": "", "tagging": "Neeraj Chopra, Roger Federer, Indian Olympic, Switzerland Tourism, La Reserve Eden, Tokyo Olympics, For Federer, Grand Slam, Asian Games, World Athletics Championships", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "neeraj-chopra-meets-roger-federer-says-its-a-dream-come-true-for-me", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "761", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2024-01-25 16:54:03", "updated": "2024-01-25 16:54:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Neeraj Chopra, Roger Federer, Indian Olympic, Switzerland Tourism, La Reserve Eden, Tokyo Olympics, For Federer, Grand Slam, Asian Games, World Athletics Championships", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-01-25 16:54:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "athletics", "cnmid": "856962", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/neeraj-chopra-meets-roger-federer-says-its-a-dream-come-true-for-me-12569" }
