The coronavirus pandemic has even legendary tennis player Roger Federer going a bit stir crazy.

He took a break from isolation Monday to make sure fans know he hasn’t missed a beat while recovering from knee surgery and spending the last several days at home as the virus outbreak spreads across Europe. The Swiss star posted a video of himself hitting several trick shots in his backyard.

The video garnered more than 3.5 million views as of Tuesday morning.
