It is not the first time Tendulkar has shown how highly he regards Federer. The cricket legend was impressed with his hand-eye co-ordination at the Wimbledon round-of-16 match in 2018 as well.

“As always, great hand-eye co-ordination. @rogerfederer, let’s exchange notes on cricket and tennis after you win your 9th Wimbledon title,” wrote Tendulkar on Twitter.

Earlier, this month Federer said that he will be out of tennis action as he is recovering from a surgery on his right knee.

“Much like I did leading up the 2017 season, I plan to take the necessary time to be 100% ready to play at my highest level,” Federer wrote in his post. “I will be missing my fans and the tour dearly but, I will look forward to seeing everyone back on tour at the start of the 2021 season.”

He had underwent the arthroscopic knee surgery in February.
