WATCH: Federer plays hide-and-seek wrestling with team

It can be quite fun—almost weirdly thrilling—to see an ultra-composed, 38-year-old father of four get playful in a childlike way with his fellow adults. That's especially true when said dad is a 20-time major champ.

Cue Roger Federer, happily creating a game of hide-and-seek play-wrestling with members of his entourage in the hallways of the Australian Open in Melbourne.

Maybe there was something in the air for those GOATS walking among us: Like Serena Williams around the same time, Federer was feeling frisky and fanciful on the grounds ahead of his opening rout. Before long, he was into the second round of the season's first major by dismantling Steve Johnson by a 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 score.

Federer, seeded No. 3 at this Grand Slam singles event that he has won six times, will next face winner ATP No. 40 Filip Krajinovic.
