Roger Federer Asked Twitter To Photoshop Him In India, The Results Are Overwhelming
World no. 3 Roger Federer took a virtual tour to India thanks to his Twitter followers who granted his request. Just recently, the Swiss Maestro has been named as Rafael Nadal's replacement for the first International Premier Tennis League (IPTL).
World no. 2 Rafael Nadal has withdrawn to use his off-season to prepare for the 2015 season after he has been interrupted by injuries. Since the 2014 Wimbledon, Nadal has been out of action only to return in Beijing for the China Open next week before playing in Shanghai, Basel, Paris and in London for the ATP World Tour Finals.
The 17-time Grand Slam champion was pretty cautious when the event was first announced, but his presence in the event has been confirmed in the Delhi-based Indian Aces team. He also confirmed his appearance with a tweet saying:
India, here I come! Looking forward to playing two matches in Delhi on December 7th & 8th. I'm beyond excited!

The first International Premier Tennis League event will start on November 28 and will be attended by former and current tennis players including Serena Williams, Andy Murray, Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras.
The tennis superstar turns out for the Indian Aces between December 6 and 8. On Tuesday, Federer took to Twitter with a request to Photoshop him onto some of India's landmarks because he does not have enough time to visit them in person.
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...

Maybe you guys could help #PhotoshopRF? Show me where I should visit and I'll retweet the best pics!

His fans were quick to do the job he requested as moments after his tweet, overwhelming response followed with a photo of him enjoying an elephant ride and another picture with the Taj Mahal as his background, among others.
