"Truly magnetised with simplicity of legend; hard to believe" - Tennis fans react to Roger Federer traveling economy on his recent flight

Roger Federer has delighted fans once again with his simplicity, traveling economy on a recent flight.

Federer retired from tennis last year at the Laver Cup, where he partnered with longtime friend and rival Rafael Nadal for a doubles match. Since then, the Swiss maestro has dedicated his time to family and his charities.

Federer has often showcased simplicity in his personal life, from cleaning the practice grounds of the US Open to flying economy. During his recent trip to South Africa, the 41-year-old traveled in economy and was seen going to the end of the aircraft for his seat.

A fan was mesmerized by the 20-time Grand Slam winner's simplicity and turned to Twitter to reflect on it.

"Truly magnetised with simplicity of legend who himself is 20 times winner of GSl," the fan wrote. "World's number 1 tennis player!Only name is enough R Federer. I'm still feeling hard to believe that we were in the same flight and he just to my back seat during traveling to [Johannesburg]."
