Roger Federer has done it all this year- but on Tuesday he added another feather to his kilt, errr... cap. Federer, who has won two grand slams this year, changed into a kilt during a charity match against Andy Murry.
Federer beat Murray 3-6 6-3 (5-10) after a champions tie-break in the match. During the match a fan gave the piece of clothing to the Swiss superstar.
The 36-year old played wearing the kilt for a brief period before signing it and returning it to the lady.

Murray, who was playing his first match since enduring an injury, sported a Tam o’ Shanter complete with ginger wig for the match.
“I played very well in it and when I took it off, I felt naked!” Federer joked after the match.
The world number 2 had earlier tweeted about the warm welcome to Scotland with shortbread made by ‘Andy’s granny’ and a can of Irn Bru. He asked Murray, "Is this your usual pre-match routine?"
Can’t get a warmer welcome than this. Thanks @andy_murray ... is this your usual pre-match routine? pic.twitter.com/mWntwqvDPA

Murray replied back, “Yea that’s a good start but try a deep fried Mars bar on top of that and you’ll be properly ready @rogerfederer.”
