Roddick did not do the challenge himself, saying he was not much of a volleyer.
. @rogerfederer I’d do the backboard challenge, but as you know as well as anyone, I don’t like to volley :)

And Gilbert showed his own version which sees him standing a little further back on a construction site.

In his challenge, Federer stands inches from a green wall wearing a hat and hitting rapid fire forehand volleys. He nominated several other tennis stars including Djokovic, Alexander Zverev, Rafael Nadal, Serena Williams and Coco Gauff to do the challenge.
