“I had the ease of advance, of reading the game”

“Roger Federer starts in ’98 to play professionally in Gstadd and does so against Lucas Arnold Ker, an Argentine, and as he was a great junior we already saw him coming. Later when he beats Pete Sampras at Wimbledon, being very young, that’s where he started to attract a little attention because there are many who play well, have a great physique, now the difference is made by the head”, he considered.

“If you ask me if Federer He is the best of all time, I have to tell you no because in sport what counts are the results, the numbers, but it is because of the opinion of the people about tennis”, he analyzed. In turn, the renowned journalist estimated that “with today’s sport, which is more physical than technical, I don’t know if Federer It could have the same effectiveness that it sustained for so many years because you have to bank today’s tennis with the sticks that stick”.

However, he valued: “Of course he had the ease of anticipation, of reading the game, it seemed that the ball was looking for him and not the other way around, but today he plays very strong, violent, physical, and he is pure hand, talent. “I admired him a lot professionally. John McEnroeI thought there would never be anyone who played easier than him and he appeared Federer and today I think he is the one who gave me the most and another will appear, the players are always renewing themselves”, he highlighted.

On the other hand, he observed: “I see Argentine tennis well, I think we have a litter of very young boys, who are maturing. I think Francisco y John Manuel Certainly y Sebastian Baez They are very good and young,” he said.

Finally, he reflected: “I don’t make predictions because I’m wrong many times, you have an idea, go, look, I like this one, I don’t like this one, and then there are so many factors that are at stake that to achieve what these animals achieved, to be almost two decades in the spotlight, many things are needed that until they happen one cannot guess them”.
