Roger Federer can't get enough of Ruby Murray curry
Updated 13:38pm on 24 Jun 2009Nevermind Andy - the only Murray on tennis ace Roger Federer's mind at Wimbledon this year has been Ruby.
Well Federer: Roger with Mo Rhaman from Rajdoot restaurant
The five-time Wimbers winner has been calling a local Indian takeaway for a curry almost every night since arriving for the tournament last week.
He's such a loyal customer that the owner of Rajdoot Restaurant even gives him a 10 per cent discount.
And he's not the only one with the hots for a curry - Lleyton Hewitt, Serena and Venus Williams, Maria Sharapova, Andy Roddick and retired players Andre Agassi and Martina Navratilova also shun the bright lights of the West End to eat at the local curry house.
But Federer, 27, has started to raise a few eyebrows by ordering a chicken tikka masala at £8.65 virtually every din-ner time. We're starting to think that it might be his secret weapon in the dressing rooms before each match.
Rajdoot waiter Mo Rhaman, 25, personally delivers the food to the tennis ace and his pregnant wife Mirka.
He said: "He is a really nice guy, always friendly and smiling and he loves Indian food - but not too spicy. He treats everybody with respect. He is a good all round guy."
