At 34 years of age when a “normal tennis player” is expected to retire, Roger Federer is reinventing (or rejuvenating) his sport.
The Swiss Maestro is proving to everybody that nowadays if you are over-aggressive and you use a lot of variations you can still be quite competitive and the world of tennis could actually benefits from it.
Federer: It would be nice to see more players doing it
The Maestro commented “It would be nice to see more players doing it ’cause I think the mix of the different players and characters of those kind of players makes it cool and fun to watch.
Not that these unbelievable baseline rallies are not cool, but it is nice to see a guy at net and a guy trying to pass, a good net player. It’s always been a fantastic thing, like Sampras and Agassi is one of those classics, or McEnroe and Borg. It was epic to watch those guys play against each other.
I’ve always actually enjoyed that kind of a play. I’m obviously clearly quite happy that I’m able to bring it back to some extent and that it’s actually working.”
Roger is now in the US Open 3rd round after trashing Mayer and Darcis in the first 2 rounds. Next is Kohlschreiber, let’s see if the Swiss can impose his “new” tennis.
