Roger Federer: A Cricket Fan!!!

Recently during the US Open tennis grand slam and earlier during the Wimbledon a TV commentator mentioned that Roger Federer, who's from Switzerland, is a big cricket fan. I pricked up my ears to listen and then tried to find out history and back ground of Swiss tennis star.
At last I found and now believe that Roger Federer's interest in cricket may come from his mother, who is South African the nation is very well known for cricket.
In these days of specialisation it's almost impossible for anyone to reach a very high standard in two different sports but there are instances in the history.
The last Test player, I believe or according to record, was the Border batsman "Buster" Farrer, who played five Tests for South Africa in the 1960s. Before that he played at Wimbledon, though with limited success.
Another South African batsman Kepler Wessels also a fine tennis player as a youngster - he beat Johan Kriek, who went on to win the Australian Open in 1981 and 1982, in age-group tennis but Wessels later concentrated on cricket.
Interestingly Wessels began his career for Australia and then went to his motherland Bloemfontein (South Africa) to play test cricket and also became captain.
A test cricketers, India's Cotar Ramaswami and Ralph Legall of West Indies, also played in the Davis Cup tennis international competition (by coincidence Ramaswami was the Indian tour manager in the Caribbean in 1952-53, when Legall made all four of his Test appearances).
More recently, Kenya's Aasif Karim appeared in 34 one-day internationals (including three World Cups), and also played in the Davis Cup in 1988.
In less pressured times at Wimbledon, the players used to arrange a cricket match on the middle Sunday (when there is usually no play on the tennis courts)
However that doesn't happen these days otherwise we could see how Federer shapes up with a bat!
