Roger Federer and Don Bradman share a similar drill
One of the fans drew Federer’s attention to the infamous Bradman’s practice drill, which was similar to Federer’s drill.
The fan pointed out the similarities and revealed that the Australian legend used to practice by hitting a golf ball though not against a flat surface but against a water tank with a single stump and at the same distance.
To everyone’s surprise, Federer acknowledged the fact as he seemed to know about one of the greatest cricketers in the history of the sport. The 20-time Grand Slam champion referred the latter as ‘The Don’.
