He was already controversial during his playing days, and he continues to be so off the pitch. Genius and figure, to the grave. It was the former Chilean tennis player Marcelo Ríos who, once again, made statements that will not amuse the many fans that Roger Federer still has..
The “Chino” protested against the style of play of the “Swiss Express”, which he considers not very entertaining on the court. “For me, Federer is not a player you see and think he’s entertaining.
I like the way he plays because he has incredible ease, he’s very smart and very good on the court, but he’s not a (Nick) Kyrgios or a (Fabio) Fognini, you see them and you wait for them to make a fuss, to mess things up.
It’s a lot of fun,” said the former world number one.
Marcelo Ríos: Djokovic is boring too.
“It’s the same with (Novak) Djokovic, I don’t find him entertaining either.
Tennis got boring, it’s like cricket, until a Kyrgios come and revolutionize everything,” added the ever-controversial former Chilean tennis player. Maybe he doesn’t find it entertaining because of the poor results he got against Federer himself.
Ríos faced him twice, in 2002, and the Swiss won each time. The Chilean didn’t even manage to win a single set out of the five they contested.
True to his personality, the Andean has never hidden what he thinks, knowing that controversy is always on his side. What do you think of the statements of the former Chilean tennis player?
