Fans across the world were taken aback by the professional and exemplary attitude of both the guard and Federer. Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar also found this gesture to be very beautiful. 

Taking to his Twitter handle, Sachin wrote, “Good to watch the security officer doing his job well at the @AustralianOpen. The manner in which @rogerfederer reacted was commendable as well. Such actions are not common today and they just increase the respect people have for great athletes like Roger.”
