Earlier, during an interview with Bangalore Mirror in 2019, Sachin had hailed and shown his respect for the Swiss tennis star.
“Well, for me, the simple thing is when Roger plays tennis, tennis looks easy. Everyone starts believing that they too can play tennis because Roger makes the game look so easy. Simple. That is the beauty of Roger. At no stage, he seems to be looking to be struggling to get to the ball. The shots he hits because he manages to cover the ground. Watching tennis has been a joy,” Sachin had said.
