After moving through Wimbledon's third round last week, Federer took to Twitter to explain how he'd be spending his day off, Mashable reports.
Instead of explaining his Saturday in the typical 140 characters, the tennis star chose emoji, using 43 of the colorful pictographs to spell out his daily routine.
The tweet took ten minutes to create and includes several showers and lots of food, Federer explained.
Here's the emoji by emoji account of Federer's day off from the annual competition.

"They [his fans] can try to figure that out if they want to or just laugh about it," Federer explained of his unorthodox tweets. "Or [they can] just think 'He's crazy.'"
