Swiss tennis star Roger Federer spent some time relaxing taking selfies with happy quokkas and giving tennis lessons to kids on the beach ahead of Hopman Cup. The World No. 2 is in Western Australia and he visited Perth's Rottnest Island, known for a large population of the happy quokkas.

He even tried his hand at cooking and barbecued some seafood on a boat. He posted this picture (above) on Instagram and captioned it, "Nice to meet you #newpal @westernaustralia #rottnestisland #happyquokka."
