El swiss Roger Federer He assured this Monday that he does not care where the ATP Finals are played because he will play them “even on the moon.”
The Swiss player, who is recovering from a knee arthroscopy that led him to resign for the rest of the season after the Australian Open, he participated in a virtual chat with extenistas Bjorn Borg and Tim Henman.
Asked about the change of location of the tournament, which will be played next year in Turn (Italy), after eleven years in London, Federer was clear.
“Honestly, no matter where he goes, any player will play wherever he goes. If he went to the moon, I would play,” said Federer, who has played this tournament in Shanghai, Houston, Shanghai again and London throughout his career.
The Swede Borg was asked which hit by Federer would he choose for his repertoire and said that if he could he would “catch them all”, although if he had to stay with only one it would be the “cut back”.
For his part, Federer said that If I could take a blow from Borg it would be the parallel reverse.
“He never failed. My whole life struggle has been to be able to score four good setbacks in a row and it gives me the feeling that Borg could do it all day with his eyes closed,” said the Basel man.
Furthermore, Federer also complimented Rafael Nadal, who participates these days in the ATP Finals in London.
“It took me a while to realize what it means to be a champion,” Federer told Henman when he asked him about when his character changed on the court.
“While Borg, along with Rafa, have probably been the best young people in the history of our sport. I needed more time to know how to behave on the track“I say.
