South African comedian and host of 'The Daily Show' Trevor Noah had a chat with Ellen DeGeneres about his tennis match with two of the greatest tennis players of all time.
Opening up about the big day, Trevor Noah said he got a call from Bill Gates asking him to join Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal for a tennis match - The Match in Africa.

Trevor hilariously explained to Ellen how his tennis training sessions panned out prior to the event. He states he had to have training every day because he had never played tennis before. The Grammy-nominated comedian only had two months to train before the match in Cape Town.
"It was one of the craziest things I've ever done in my life," said Trevor.
