New Delhi: Roger Federer is a colossal figure in the Tennis sport whose achievements & milestones continue to unnerve the emerging stars who dream to become like him. The 41-year-old player from Switzerland has many performances & exploits in his more than a decade-long career, which makes his fans go gaga even today.
However, his latest image that has taken the internet by storm is his love for cows. Federer posing with his ‘favourite’ cow has taken the internet by storm and his fans are frantically sharing the photo.
A user claims that the cow has been named ‘Ganga’. Though Switzerland doesn’t have any national animal but a cow is the most commonly associated animal. That may be one of the reasons why Federer has a deep love for cows and is often seen posing in frames with them.
