Roger Federer is these days in London. On Tuesday the Swiss tennis player received a tribute from the tournament that has marked his career. The winner of 20 Grand Slams was applauded on center court at the All England Club. Today, in an interview with CNN, he has reviewed various issues related to his sport. From the outset, I recognized that the Djokovic is the “great favorite to win the tournament”.
But I also spoke Spanish Carlos Alcarazwhom he could not see in his debut in the current edition of Wimbledon. “I think achieving incredible and great things in the future, which means winning multiple Grand Slams”he pointed out in his meeting with CNN.
The Helvetian, added about the Murcian: “It’s going to be especially interesting for me to see how he plays at Wimbledon and especially the first games, when the surface is softer and more slippery. It’s when you have to take that little extra step and you can lose confidence in your movements.”
In any case, Roger believes that Alcaraz is on the right track: “He has all the tools, so he has a lot of different ways to win games, and I think that’s what champions are made of.”“.
Rafael Nadal
Federer also had words for his great rival, Rafa Nadal. The Swiss spoke about his current situation and his retirement in 2024: “We all know how lucky we are (Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray) and I think Rafa knew it too. Now I see him go through this most difficult period and I I know because I’ve been there, but I just hope he can retire the way he wants and that he can still play.”. Roger added: “I hope we see him not only do doubles like I did, but he can do a lot more. I think he’ll make it.”“.
