A few days ago, Swiss tennis ace, Roger Federer retweeted an image of himself alongside an image of Marvel character Spider-Man. Both images showed Federer and Spider-Man striking similar poses. The image was initially tweeted by the user @inspiredtennis on Wednesday.

However, Federer himself tweeted the same image sometime later. What’s interesting is the fact that he did not retweet it, rather he retweeted someone else’s post which was similar to the one posted by @inspiredtennis. The image was of him playing a shot at the Indian Wells 2019 tournament.
