Roger Federer

Roger Federer is one of the greatest tennis competitors of all-time. Klay Thompson is one of the greatest shooters in the history of basketball. So, any athletic competition between these two would be a treat.

It appears there is potential for a legendary ping-pong match between the two. It started with Warriors coach Steve Kerr relaying a conversation between the athletes that happened last week in Shanghai.

Steve Kerr relayed a convo between Roger Federer and Klay Thompson.
Klay: How's your ping pong game?
Federer: Pretty nice
Klay: Mine, too

— Anthony Slater (@anthonyVslater) October 12, 2017

Federer caught wind of the tweet and issued the challenge to Thompson.

Sounds like a challenge to me @KlayThompson ? https://t.co/5ZhDBe5JN1

— Roger Federer (@rogerfederer) October 13, 2017

And the Warriors’ All-NBA two guard accepted:

Name the time and place. Game on!

— klay thompson (@KlayThompson) October 13, 2017

Please, please let this ping-pong match happen, and please stream it online.
