In the whimsical world of letters, it’s Elmo’s Domain, and we’re all part of the fun!
TN Q&A: Roger Federer Opens Up About His RF Collection and Favorite Match
Catch the Swiss Maestro in a charming new commercial alongside Sesame Street’s iconic Elmo, slated to debut on Super Bowl Sunday.
In his signature high-pitched voice, Elmo, a devoted Fed fan, sweetly addresses the 20-time Grand Slam legend as “Mr. Roger Federer,” humorously questioning the branding on his On footwear.
“Mr. Roger Federer, why do your shoes say Q and C?” Elmo curiously asks.
“Oh, that’s actually O and N for On,” responds Federer with a smile.
Yet, Elmo remains a bit doubtful but wraps it up with affection, saying, “Elmo loves you, Mr. Roger Federer, even if you don’t know your letters yet!” as he relaxes in a vibrant green umpire’s chair.
