He's in the land Down Under to once again compete in the Brisbane International.
But despite his busy sports schedule, professional Swiss tennis player Roger Federer is taking time out to frolic with some cute friends.
The 33-year-old was all smiles on Tuesday as he fed some wild dolphins at Tangalooma Island Resort in Brisbane, Australia.
Roger beamed as he took a dip in the ocean to get up close and personal with some dolphins underneath a dark sky.
He stepped out in a white T-shirt and blue shorts, perfect for getting a little wet around the beautiful mammals.
After finding a friendly dolphin, the professional sportsman stretched his arm out and offered a small piece of fish.
An elated Roger took to Twitter to speak of his special encounter. 'Hanging with dolphins at @Tangalooma! What animals have you met in Qld? #thisisqueensland,' he wrote.
Roger is currently in Australia with his wife Mirka Federer, along with their twin girls Myla and Charlene and twin boys, Lenny and Leo.
He is in the country to compete in the Brisbane International, which is held at the Queensland Tennis Centre from January 4 to 11.
Federer last won a Grand Slam at Wimbledon in 2012, but seems confident about adding a fifth Australian Open title this year.
The father-of-four is back with a vengeance after a lackluster 2013. To make up for it, last year the pro won more matches than any of his fellow players with a whopping 73 wins which securely elevated him to the number two spot, behind world number one Novak Djokovic.
'Overall it was a great season for me,' Federer said on Saturday. 'I was consistent and I was playing positive, attacking tennis just the way I want to play and I gave myself chances at quite a few of the slams.
'This year I hope I can go one step further because going close is not quite good enough.
