Roger Federer might be at the top of the tennis world, but even that isn't enough for him to stroll around the grounds of the Australian Open without a pass. With over a hundred wins to his title, the Swiss ace is easily one of the greatest tennis players in the history of the sport. But having amassed 20 solid Grand Slam titles didn't help him get past the security guard when he tried venturing into the players' area at Melbourne Park without a pass to show.
