Roger Federer is loving it.

Barely two days after the Swiss tennis ace announced on Twitter that he will descend on the Capital to take part in the Mahesh Bhupathi-floated International Premier Tennis League (IPTL) on December 7 and 8, his multitude of fans and followers went berserk.

The 17-time Grand Slam champion then posted this on @rogerfederer, his Twitter page: "I need some help from my supporters in India. I'm only in Delhi for a few days, so can't visit all amazing places that I'd like... (contd.). Maybe you guys could help #PhotoshopRF? Show me where I should visit and I'll retweet the best pics!"

What followed was mayhem. Creative (and hilarious) minds started working overtime to come up with the choicest of 'photoshopped' suggestions. A US-based fan, who urged Federer to visit the Taj Mahal, promptly juxtaposed a picture of the 33-year-old in a suit in front of the iconic monument. Another follower insisted that Federer, now donning his pristine all-whites, lead an expedition into the dunes of Jaisalmer. A couple of camels keep him company in this image. A Canadian fan draped an elephant with the famous 'RF' logo and, what's more, made Federer ride the jumbo. An Aussie told him not to forget to take a rickshaw. Another urged him to take a dip in the Ganges.

Federer retweeted them all. In the past 48 hours, images of Federer have also been doctored to make him a classical dancer, a snake charmer, a Bollywood actor sharing space with the Khans, a monkey charmer and a princess getting mehndi done. Federer also retweeted a post requesting him to "go to the Holi festival". He may be landing three months too early for that, but the image is wondrous to say the least.

Federer's last post was this: "You guys are so creative.. It's been amazing and so entertaining looking through #PhotoshopRF." There are more coming his way.
