In addition to his spectacular tennis prowess, Roger Federer also enthralled his fans with his endearing and gentlemanly personality. It was quite evident a few seasons back when the former tennis ace gave his ‘pinky promise’ to a kid who wanted to volley alongside him. Although everyone thought of it as a joke, Federer, being Federer, did not hold back from fulfilling his young fan’s wish, as they were later set for an on-court matchup.

However, it now looks like the Swiss Maestro isn’t the only one in the tennis circuit who has pulled off such heartfelt acts for their admirers. Emulating his former colleague’s class-apart act, the ATP legend, Novak Djokovic recently decided to fulfill his fan’s ‘song’ wish.
