Even Roger Federer needs an ID at Australian Open. Stunned Sachin Tendulkar shares viral video

In a video that went viral recently, Roger Federer was denied entry into the men's locker room as he did not have the proper identity proof.
Roger Federer is the GOAT and there is no denying that. And recently at the ongoing Australian Open, the tennis icon proved once again he is one of the most modest sportsperson ever.
In a video that went viral recently, the tennis player was denied entry into the men's locker room, as he did not have the proper identity proof. And Roger Federer did not loose his cool.
One can see in the video, which was shot at the Australian Open, Federer walking up to the locker room where he is stopped by a security personnel. Federer was not carrying his own identification card and the guard politely stopped him. The tennis legend, who has won 20 career grand slam titles, was lauded online for his demeanour.
And seems like he has found a new fan in cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin took to Twitter today to praise Federer for his patient act.
He tweeted, "Good to watch the security officer doing his job well at the @AustralianOpen. The manner in which @rogerfederer reacted was commendable as well. Such actions are not common today and they just increase the respect people have for great athletes like Roger."
Such a reaction from a sportsman isn't that common and Roger Federer's act has put across a great example for celebrity sports stars to follow.
