Many would kill to be in the shoes of Ms. Gloria, who got the opportunity to meet her idol, six-time titlist Roger Federer in person. The Swiss tennis superstar has given back to a fan by spending an hour with her for the Fan’s Moet Moment at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London.

Meeting celebrities is always fun. Federer was more than accommodating to the only lucky fan and brought her to one of his press conferences. ATP World Tour has the video here.

“It’s a great experience to actually meet someone like that, one that you’ve admired and followed,” Ms. Gloria said of the one in a lifetime experience. “And to actually meet him and have a word with him is actually something.”

Federer topped the Stan Smith Group at this year’s edition of the season-ending men’s tennis tournament held at the O2 Arena in London from Nov. 15 to Nov. 23. He beat Tomas Berdych in his first round robin match 6-4 6-2 then cruised his way by ending Novak Djokovic’s 23-match winning streak in his second match 7-5 6-2.

The 34-year-old Swiss clinched his spot in the semifinals after scoring a three-set decision win over Kei Nishikori 7-5 4-6 6-4. He reached the semifinals for the 13th time out of his 14 appearances.

Third seed Federer now awaits the winner of the match between Andy Murray and fellow compatriot Stan Wawrinka in his bid to win his seventh title at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. Federer won the title in 2003 (def. Andre Agassi 6-3 6-0-6-4), 2004 (def. Lleyton Hewitt 6-3 6-2), 2006 (def. James Blake 6-0 6-3 6-4), 2007 (def. David Ferrer 6-2 6-3 6-2), 2010 (def. Rafael Nadal 6-3 3-6 6-1), and 2011 (def. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-3 6-7(8) 6-3.
