Around forty people gathered in front of the On headquarters in Zurich-West on Wednesday afternoon, as reported by 20 Minuten on Thursday. A tennis net was stretched across the court. Zendaya and Federer kept passing balls to each other. It wasn’t a real match, as both had to keep interrupting the game, it was said.
Behind the meeting was probably the pair’s collaboration for the sports brand On, for which Zendaya has been advertising recently, wrote Blick online. Federer is the face of the brand and also has a stake in the company as an entrepreneur.
The 27-year-old actress is known from several film and TV productions. She has appeared in the “Spider-Man” films, among others. Since 2019, she has played the lead role in the HBO series “Euphoria”, for which she has won two Emmy television awards.
