The kid got his chance to speak at the conference and he went on to ask the 19-time champion (Grand Slam singles titles) about why he&#39;s referred to by the nickname of G.O.A.T even though there is not a lot of livestock in his native country, Switzerland. The kid thought he was actually nicknamed after the farm animal.&nbsp;

After this the cute kid went on to say that he has a &quot;serious&nbsp;question&quot; and asked if he &quot;could continue playing for another 8-9 years&quot; so that he could get to play Roger Federer when he &quot;becomes a pro&quot; himself.&nbsp;

Being a sport, Federer answered that he would try to &quot;make a comeback&quot; for him and that it is a &quot;pinky promise&quot;.&nbsp;
