The whole conversation

The official twitter handle for Wimbledon shared the video and asked ICC what ratings they will give Federer for his forward defence. ???Ratings for @rogerfederer???s forward defence, @ICC? #Wimbledon,??? the official website of Wimbledon wrote. Tendulkar being a huge fan of Federer took to his twitter and praised the tennis star for his wonderful hand-eye coordination.

???As always, great hand-eye coordination. @rogerfederer, let???s exchange notes on cricket and tennis after you win your 9th @Wimbledon title, Tendulkar wrote on a lighter note. Federer???s forward defence resembled quite a bit of Matthew Hayden and he surely must have some cricketing skills up his sleeve. In their next meeting, Tendulkar will surely teach Federer some cricketing lessons.

After Tendulkar???s heartfelt message for Federer, the tennis star was not far away from replying. ???why wait? I???m ready to take notes! @sachin_rt. It is always pleasing to hear from the legendary duo and seeing a conversation like this will surely mesmerize any fan of the two legends. Meanwhile, Tendulkar said that he will give him notes on straight drive only if he teaches him the backhand. It was obviously intended in a light-hearted manner.

???Ha ha ha..done. @rogerfederer, lesson 1 will be the straight drive only if you help me with my backhand my friend!! Unfortunately won???t be able to come to see you play this year but will be glued to the television???Wish you all the very best! Hopefully next year @wimbledon,??? Tendulkar wrote.
