Roger is like playing the finest violin in the world: Mads Mikkelsen
Mikkelsen is well known for playing villains in the US and more nuanced roles in Denmark. In an interview, he spoke about his love for Sports and how he loves Federer more than Nadal.
He said: “I have seen Nadal play a few times. But nothing beats Federer. Even when he loses, he’s just amazing to watch. It’s insane. Roger is like playing the finest violin in the world. He is so elegant.”
It will be highly unlikely to see much of Federer-Nadal rivalry to be seen in future because of Federer’s age and his longevity. Having said that, whatever more we could see of the duo on tour, will be a treat to the eye and fans all around the world would cherish it!
