Roger Federer’s recent comments on the current state of the ATP Tour have stirred distress among the fans and they are blaming Novak Djokovic for it.
During his recent talk with GQ Sports, the 20-time Grand Slam winner expressed his views about the lack of variety in the current tennis games. He stressed the fact that the one-hand backhand has almost vanished from the courts.
Federer talks about the current state of Tennis and how the Top 10 matches have become pretty straightforward and “side to side”. The Swiss Maestro wants the matches to go “back and forth” with a lot of variety.
“What we get more and more nowadays is that I wish that sometimes we had a little bit more variety, and also back and forth coming to the net a little bit more, not just side to side,” Roger said.
He stretched his point by saying that he implemented the mix-up strategy in his own play and how it affected the opponents.“And my goal on the tour was always—playing every point in a similar way against my opponent is what he wants. What he doesn’t want is if I mix it up and have variety,” Federer added.
He termed the current trend of the ATP Tour as an “arm wrestling game” and urged other players to play Tennis instead.
“So for me, seeing two guys play against each other and have 20 same points back to back to back, come on. It can be very interesting. It’s like an arm wrestle. But I like to say, “Let’s not enter the arm wrestle. Let’s enter another game,”” Roger concluded.
