Roger Federer has been one of the most legendary tennis players in the history of the game. He has 20 grand slam titles and has remained at the top of the world rankings for a long time. Apart from his magnificent performance on court, he also a very humble and caring person in real life. He is known for his good behaviour on and off court and people admire him for both.
Former Roland Garros doubles champion Ion Tiriac just insulted the 20-time grand slam champion about the chances of him making a comeback. According to him, Federer risks making a fool of himself on his return back on to the tour. It has been a long time since Federer played a game of tennis at the highest level.
However, it is foolish to rule out a legend like Federer. The Swiss Maerstro has shown some of his best performances when he returned after a break from an injury. Even though he hasn’t taken such a long break before and is 40-years old now, he still possess the talent and the fitness to make a comeback and even win titles.
Tiriac in the interview said, “You can play tennis for fun. Which would be a great thing. Be careful, though: it would be a pity if he made a fool of himself. I see it as a danger because he hasn’t played for so long. If you like tennis, fine, but being competitive at 40? No, no.””
