Football is the most popular sport across the globe. So it's not surprising that tennis players haven't been able to stay away from the beautiful game; many of them identify themselves with their favorite team. They are often seen at their team’s matches, and cheer the players along with the fans. Some of the tennis players in this list also played football as kids. Let us look at the teams that these players support.
#10 Tomas Berdych - Manchester United
Tomas Berdych is a huge fan of the Red Devils. "I am a big fan of Manchester United," Berdych told the Daily Mail. "I had a chance to go and watch the Champions League final when they played Barcelona at Wembley. Unfortunately, they lost but it was a pretty big experience."
#9 Stefan Edberg - Leeds United
Six-time Grand Slam Champion Stefan Edberg is a fan of Leeds United. The former coach of Roger Federer attends their matches whenever he can.
#8 Boris Becker - Bayern Munich
Former World No. 1 Boris Becker is a huge supporter of Bayern Munich. The German also serves on the advisory board of the team alongside Edmund Stoiber.
#7 Milos Raonic - Barcelona

#6 Feliciano Lopez - Real Madrid
Lopez is big fan of Real Madrid CF. When asked what his favourite sporting moment was, he had this to say: “My most memorable moment was probably when Real Madrid won their ninth Champions League in 2002” [Real beat Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 in the final at Hampden Park in Glasgow].
#5 Andy Murray - Hibernian FC
The current World No. 1 supports Hibernian and has a reason for supporting the team too. He backs the team as he doesn’t have to worry if they’ll win the league. "There have never been such high expectations at Hibs, I guess, so at least we don't feel like we're being let down,” he said.
#4 Caroline Wozniacki - Liverpool
Wozniacki is a big supporter of Liverpool FC. The Dane admitted that her passion for Liverpool started after a visit to Merseyside in 2008.
"I first came to Anfield for the first time maybe five years ago, and I've been back about four more times," she revealed.
"I love all the traditions of the club and I know a few guys on the team. I love coming to watch the games. The atmosphere is just amazing."
#3 Novak Djokovic - AC Milan
The current World No. 2 is a huge fan of AC Milan. “I’m a big fan of Milan and I’ll always be. For me, football is second only tennis. My father was a professional footballer and at home we always watch the Rossoneri’s games with great interest,” he said.
Djokovic caught up with legends of Milan team during the Shanghai Masters a few years ago.
#2 Rafael Nadal - Real Madrid
Rafa Nadal backs the Real Madrid side in La liga. As a child, he also supported FC Barcelona and later RCD Mallorca, as his uncle Miguel Angel Nadal played for both these teams. But now, the Spaniard is a keen supporter of Los Blancos and shares a good camaraderie with the players.
The 14-time Grand Slam champion got a standing ovation when he attended a Champions league match between Real Madrid CF and Ajax.
#1 Roger Federer - FC Basel
Federer supports, not surprisingly, his home team FC Basel. The 18-time Grand Slam champion attends the team’s matches at St. Jacob’s Park in Basel.
“We are looking forward like little kids to this game,” he told Swiss newspaper Basler Zeitung ahead of the match against Chelsea a few years ago. Federer recently won the Australian Open and is a regular feature at the Basel indoors tennis tournament held in the fall.
