“The presenter is wrong,” says Thomas Muster about Annette Fetscherin. The SRF presenter had previously introduced him as “Roger Federer of Austria”.
The most important thing in brief
-
Because Thomas Muster makes a mistake, Switzerland wins the “Hermann Maier Star Challenge”.
-
Previously, the tennis legend was announced as “the Roger Federer of Austria”.
-
But this saying from SRF presenter Annette Fetscherin doesn’t appeal to Muster at all.
The event ends bitterly for “host” Hermann Maier: his teammate Thomas Muster is disqualified. The ex-tennis star missed a goal. Did an SRF live broadcast upset him?
Muster does not agree at all with the introduction by SRF presenter Annette Fetscherin, who describes him as “Roger Federer of the Austrians”. The ex-French Open champion immediately makes it clear: “It doesn’t work.”
Pattern about SRF Fetscherin: “The presenter is wrong”
Austria’s tennis legend definitely doesn’t want to compare himself with Federer: “He feels like he has more Grand Slam titles than I have singles titles. The presenter is a bit wrong.”
But here the 58-year-old is too modest: He won 44 ATP titles in his career. Federer has 20 major trophies – significantly fewer.
The two even share a record: Muster (1995) and Federer (2006) each won twelve ATP titles in their best year.
Nevertheless: Out of respect for the maestro, Austria’s most successful tennis player doesn’t enjoy a comparison. At the “Hermann Maier Star Challenge”, his mistake is decisive in ensuring that the national championship goes to Switzerland.
