Federer, Crosby share birthday cake, not tennis
Aug 8, 2010 - 6:38 PM TORONTO (AP) -- Roger Federer and Sidney Crosby have missed out on their chance to play tennis together but can still share a birthday cake.The two sports stars met for the first time at the Rogers Cup on Sunday. They were set to play together on a practice court at the Rexall Centre, but rain scuttled their plans.
A birthday cake was brought out for the occasion as Federer turned 29 on Sunday, a day after Crosby turned 23.
Crosby says the two talked about watching each other play. The Pittsburgh Penguins star forward scored the overtime winner against the United States to give Canada the gold medal at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.
Federer is a two-time winner at the Rogers Cup. The 16-time Grand Slam champion is currently ranked No. 3 in the world.
