Former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar on Sunday praised the security guard at the Australian Open, who stopped Swiss tennis star Roger Federer from entering the locker room without his identity card.
Tendulkar also lauded the way the 20-time Grand Slam champ reacted to the situation, respecting the guard who was just doing his duty.
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. https://t.co/wvm24DOhbA
