Roger is huge champion and once again he shows his greatness also outside the tennis court.
“I don’t feel better than anyone, because we need past champions to pave the way for our generation and we have become very professional,” he said. “They have led the way and inspired myself and other players to chase the big records out there. Back in the day they weren’t doing that, they were just playing to play tennis. Things have changed dramatically with the press reminding us ‘you should do this and win that and you’ll be considered the greatest of all time’. And anyway I don’t think you can compare different eras in tennis.”
“I knew how close I was for the last few years but some people didn’t quite see that,” he said.”I think the belief got me to victory today, and almost two other ones in the last couple of years as well. I think it was a time where I just had to believe that things weregoing to turn around for me,” he said. “I think I’m playing some of the best tennis of my life right now.”
Talking about his last slam victory “When it all happened I was just so happy that it was all over and that the pressure was gone, basically,” he said. “I guess that came due to the tough loss I had here last year. There were a couple of tough moments for me over the last couple years.”
