In these days without tennis without professional game in action, one of the greatest hitter in the history of cricket Sachin Tendulkar picked up a tennis racket, was seen playing tennis and attempted to hit the ball with a forehand. As he did so, he asked Roger Federer, a 20-time Grand Slam champion, for advice on playing tennis.

During the 2018 Wimbledon Championships GOAT exchanged amicably on Twitter. Federer showed some batting skills on SW19’s grass pitches.
And after stumbling upon Roger Tendulkar’s action, he gave a sincere answer and appreciated his eye-hand coordination. He was ready to give some coaching lessons to Federer and the Swiss master was eager to look for them.
Roger Federer impresses Sachin Tendulkar!

Even before Roger won his first major title, Sachin followed the Swiss tennis magician. Also remember that Federer won his first ATP title in Milan in 2001. During his first days on the ATP tour, Tendulkar prophesied that Federer will one day dominate the sport and be responsible for the metamorphosis of tennis.
“I follow Roger from 2001-2002” Tendulkar reflected in 2019 while he was conversing with Vijay Tagore.
“I remember the days when Yuvi (Yuvraj Singh) would support Andy Roddick and I would support Roger. It was the first days when Yuvi talked about Roddick’s power game and I was talking about Roger’s refinement, class and incredible strokes, I was convinced when I saw his skills in creating those corners. “
In 2019, during the Dubai Championships, Roger Federer joined the ATP title club of the century and published his historic success. Tendulkar congratulated him on the same.
The two legends met during Wimbledon 2011 at the All England Club and it was a memorable experience for both Federer and Tendulkar.
