Sachin Tendulkar also has admitted on numerous events that he is an enthusiast of Federer and is a general at the All England Club when The Championships are held. The God of cricket often visits Wimbledon to watch Roger Federer play and a long back Federer also invited Sachin Tendulkar for his match against Rafael Nadal which is held in New Delhi.
