“That’s someone you look up to” English swimmer Adam Peaty inspired by Roger Federer’s longevity at the top

Roger Federer is a legend in the Tennis world as well as he is one of the sport’s most iconic names in the world and there’s no doubt about that. He has been dominating in tennis since the time he came to Wimbledon as a junior player in 1998, where he won both the Singles and Doubles final. He has won 20 Grand Slam Single titles and an overall 103 career titles since then. Known for his humbleness outside the court, Federer has been ranked No.1 by the Association of Tennis Professionals for 310 weeks.

It’s been over a year since he was last seen on the court, the Swiss international is currently recovering and hoping to return to the court soon as the fans all around the world are eager to watch the greatest player swing his racquet for a few more years before he finally puts it to sleep.

Adam Peaty: I’m inspired by all the top players but Roger Federer is the one where I think he’s just class

Federer is being hailed by sports personalities all over the world, and how the stands are filled with athletes and celebrities when he plays. Recently, English Swimmer Adam Peaty said a few words about the former world No.1 where he spoke about his attitude & longevity.

The three-time Olympic gold medal winner said, “I’m inspired by all the top players but Roger Federer is the one where I think he’s just class, isn’t he?” said Peaty. “The way he comes across, how he performs, his attitude in the sport, that’s someone you want to look up to, you get to your late 30s or early 40s still doing your sport then why not. That’s another 10 years or more and it’s a brutal sport especially as you get older but you find new ways don’t you.”

Adam Peaty (27 years old) is currently at the top of his game and he wants to replicate Roger’s legacy as well as longevity in his sport (swimming) which would be quite challenging as it is impossible to say whether he will be performing at the same level after 10 years for now but if he stays dedicated through all these times, who knows he might be ‘the Roger Federer’ of swimming.
