Rules are same for all, but many times the famous people get away with it. However, it didn't happen during Australian Open. For a security guard at the Tennis event, rules were everything and just being famous didn't help anyone, not even Roger Federer. The Tennis star was asked to show his tournament ID which he wasn't carrying at that time. 

A video went viral where Federer was stopped by a security guard in a hallway outside a locker room at the Grand Slam tournament.

Former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar was impressed with the video. Taking to his Twitter handle, Sachin wrote, “Good to watch the security officer doing his job well at the @AustralianOpen. The manner in which @rogerfederer reacted was commendable as well. Such actions are not common today and they just increase the respect people have for great athletes like Roger.”

Federer was a sport too. He stood there with patience and waited until one of his guys brought the ID and then he was allowed to go through the door.
