Tennis player Emilio Gómez (ATP 171) trained with Roger Federer, ranked third in the world, this Thursday on the eve of the Swiss' 101st match at the US Open.
"They did it outside the US Open on private courts," journalist Kenny Castro, who is in New York covering the US Open, wrote.
Therefore, the player from Guayaquil fulfilled one of his dreams by training with the owner of 20 Grand Slam titles, five of them corresponding to the US Open.

Now the Swiss is focused on his match against British Daniel Evans, on Friday, at Arthur Ashe Stadium. (D)
