Roger Federer punctuated his off-season with an #AskRF session over the weekend. The 32 year old answered light-hearted questions about everything from his favourite fruit, to his drawing skills, to what he would say to Kobe Bryant upon the basketball player’s return from an injury layoff. Fans also asked about what the Swiss player would be giving his wife, Mirka, for Christmas.

During the two-hour conversation, Federer shared a picture of his family’s Christmas tree (which his twins helped to decorate) and responded to questions from John McEnroe and Patrick Rafter. Federer also paid his respects to former South African President Nelson Mandela, who passed away last week.

Federer plans on playing his first tournament of 2014 in Brisbane.
