Sachin Tendulkar and Roger Federer to Coach Each Other: Tennis Maestro and God of Cricket Share Notes
The mutual admiration between the GOATS (Greatest of all time) of Cricket and Tennis goes back a long way and the recent Twitter exchange shows that it is only growing with time.
London, July 11: It is not everyday that two maestros and two geniuses from different sports tweet each other about exchanging notes on their respective sports. Especially, if those sportsmen are Roger Federer and Sachin Tendulkar. The Swiss ace's 'cricket act' on the green lawns of Wimbledon in his fourth round clash against Frenchman Adrian Mannarino inspired a number of tweets and reaction but none better than Cricket's batting legend Sachin Tendulkar, who praised Roger Federer's hand-eye co-ordination and wished him luck for winning his 9th Wimbledon title. This is what Tendulkar said in his tweet:
The ever so gracious Federer, was sport for the task and tweeted back asking "Why wait? I am ready to take notes."
The Master Blaster replied saying that though he won't be at the Wimbledon this year to support Federer, he will be glued to the television and wished Federer the very best. Read his full tweet below:
