Retired tennis legend Roger Federer is not used to finishing in second place, but he has been handed an unflattering loss on the social media stage with a little-known football player usurping him at the top.

Along with his 20 Grand Slam singles titles, a career Grand Slam (winning all four Grand Slams at least once) and 103 ATP singles titles including 20 major titles, Federer was also the Swiss king of Instagram.

However, he has now surrendered that title with glamourous Aston Villa star Alisha Lehmann now taking the mantle as the most followed Swiss sports star on the platform.
