Seven-time Wimbledon champion and 17-time Grand Slam winner Roger Federer got a taste of India when he feasted on a giant naan (bread), served with the usual non-vegetarian and vegetarian accompaniments at a signature restaurant during his second trip to the country.

“Got naan,” Federer tweeted Monday along with a photograph in which he is all smiles holding a crisp giant-sized naan.

Federer confessed that he loves to eat Indian cuisine, since he eats it very rarely, in order to face the challenge of spice.

Roger Federer shone brightly on his first appearance on Indian soil as he fired the Indian Aces to a convincing 26-16 victory over Singapore Slammers in the Delhi leg of the International Premier Tennis League in New Delhi.
