Jackman added that the match in Chile is most likely to be played despite political tensions in the country. He said that he liked the Movistar Arena as it is intimate and modern. Federer is scheduled to face Zverev in the Movistar Arena in Santiago on 19th November and they are hoping for the game to happen as they are analysing the political situation accordingly. Jackman further said that Federer expects the audience to be passionate. He said that the Swiss ace remembers the reception he received in Bogota in 2012 and terms it 'the crowd that touched him the most'.
