The most influential Tennis player of all time, Roger Federer hung up his boots following a doubles match at the 2022 Laver Cup. The impact of Federer reached far beyond Tennis, and several actors, footballers and cricketers, including Pakistan Skipper Babar Azam had put out posts to appreciate the 41-year-old Swiss Superstar.
On 24 September, Babar took to Twitter: “Greatness personified. One of a kind. Iconic. Happy Retirement, you absolute legend @rogerfederer!”.

Babar Azam fails to identify Federer; gets brutally trolled
In the viral video-clip, Babar was tasked to identify Roger Federer just by looking at a photo of his in Tennis Gear and a racquet in his hand.
However, struggling to name the Tennis Maestro, Babar Azam quoted, “What was his name? I don’t even know his name (laughs). No. Is it Federer?”.

Babar could only recognise him upon some intervention from the show’s host and thus, true Tennis fans are brutally trolling the Pakistan skipper for posting about someone he does not even know.
Here are some of the Tweets targeting Babar Azam for posting about the Swiss Maestro only to look ‘cool’.
