Roger Federer has done favors to any tennis player- Millman
Roger Federer is one of the greatest players to have ever played the game of tennis, and some believe him to be one of the greatest sportsmen ever. People compare him to the likes of Michael Jordan, Usain Bolt, Muhammad Ali, etc.
Millman, an Australian tennis player recently in an interview talked extensively about the Swiss Maestro.
Millman while talking about the Swiss Maestro and his own career said that “At my age, probably this year I have decided not to take it for granted when the body’s good, I keep getting told, ‘take a look at Roger’. I don’t think Roger’s done favors to any tennis player. He’s had the injury bugs the last couple of seasons but the guy played for ages, for bloody forever. Ten years ago, if you said guys would still be in their prime at 31, 32, 33, 34, they would have laughed at you.”
“I remember when( Andre) Agassi was running around at 34 and people thought he was a little bit crazy and then he played the US Open final at 35. This is my point. Some of these guys have opened up that door to make it seem the norm, but it doesn’t get any easier. That’s the reality,” added Millman.
He explained that unlike Federer or Agassi his game requires more physical strength. He said, “Especially, with my type of tennis, it’s a physical brand of tennis.”
Millman in his interview did both applaud and condemn the contributions made by the Swiss Maestro in tennis.
