Roger Federer has yet another fan among tennis legends: Jim Courier.
The former world no.1 confirms Sampras’ impression that Roger will not stop any soon while Nadal may struggle.
From Courier
Courier mantains that the difference is in their tennis style and the intensity they have on the court.
“The amount of energy that Roger uses to hit a shot is way less than what used by Nadal when hitting his strokes. Federer interprets tennis as if it was a dance, a ballet on the court. Nadal instead, when he is playing, it looks as if he is battling.
That sort of explains why the Spaniard will not enjoy the same longevity as Roger, even though we would all love to see Rafael competing when he is 33. Credit must be given to those who taught Roger to play that way.”
SAMPRAS HAS ALSO FAITH IN ROGER
