Hello, eBay! Will Smith gives Roger Federer a Men in Black suit for winning Madrid Open

At first glance this appears to be totally random: why is Will Smith presenting Roger Federer with a suit from Men in Black for winning the Madrid Open on Sunday? Is it a new trend? Will the French Open winner get Thor’s hammer? No, it’s just a movie studio doing what movie studios do: hype their films by whatever means possible.

There were two big events in Madrid on Sunday: the finals of the Madrid Open (Federer beat Tomas Berdych), and the Men in Black III premiere at La Caja Magica. So Smith hopped over to the Open and presented Federer with the duds for a nice publicity photo op. Which means Federer is all set to go back to 1969 and play Rod Laver for the Wimbledon title. And also for funerals.

Or would be, if Smith hadn’t then hit him with the flashy thing and took the suit back.

Also, Smith is a lot tinier than he looks in films:
