“He is an incredible fighter” Patrick Mouratoglou on Roger Federer’s unique quality that makes him a champion
Federer has won 103 ATP singles titles and 20 Grand Slam singles titles in his glorious career that lasted for 24 years. He expressed his desire to keep playing the sport but not more as a Pro. His journey from a ball boy to one of the tennis legends is an example of sheer hard work, dedication, and patience. His cool and calm on-court and off-court mannerisms are widely appreciated.
Patrick Mouratoglou posted a short video on his social media account on Instagram where he talked about Federer’s legacy and contribution to the sport. He said “I think Roger is the best ambassador for tennis. He plays tennis the way everybody would love to play tennis, and nobody can play tennis like him, and nobody probably will ever play tennis the way did.“
Mouratoglou even talked about his fighting spirit to win each point makes him stand out from the rest. He even recalled some of the best moments from the Swiss maestro matches that will be remembered for ages but especially his Australian Open triumph in 2006 totally blew his mind.
Federer hasn’t played a single match since his quarter-final loss at Wimbledon following his third knee surgery and recovery which kept him out for months. Due to his long absence, for the very first time, he dropped out of the rankings. He had been pushing his comeback due to his fitness concerns since his recovery didn’t go as per his plan which could be one of the reasons for his imminent retirement.
