During his visit, Rohit was asked about his favorite tennis player. Responding to this, Rohit named the eight-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer as his favorite player. Hailing Roger Federer’s qualities as a person, Rohit said:
“Just the person he is… more than the icon, more than the player he is.”
He added: “Just the humility he brings. [You know] after winning so much of it, the way he is off the court and how he treats himself on the court as well, I just love that.”
