Roger Federer does a William Tell, but with his racquet, not crossbow!

LONDON - Roger Federer demonstrated a trick where he knocked off a bottle off a man’s head with his serve, similar to the legend of William Tell, the Swiss folk hero who was said to have shot an apple off his son’s head with a crossbow bolt.
Federer, a six-times Wimbledon champion, astounded crewmembers at a photo shoot with his trick, now a video on YouTube.
The demo was a part of proving his accuracy.
“What’s next? That was good, right?” The Telegraph quoted Federer as saying after successfully repeating the trick.
The video, uploaded on Monday, has already attracted more than 50,000 views but not all are ready to believe it.
“All the people who think this is real obviously have never played tennis let alone serving. it is not possible to have such precision especially when it’s twice and there is a human involved. this is FAKE!” commented one viewer.
“You really think this is fake? Yes the greatest player of all time can’t hit a can from 20 feet? You guys are a joke. Of course its real,” said another. (ANI)
