After withdrawing from Roland Garros, Roger Federer registered to attend Halle Open. This is the ATP 500 tournament held in Germany, helping players run the momentum before Wimbledon.
In the first round, Federer easily surpassed Ilya Ivashka to win tickets. However, suddenly happened in the second round. Encountering the “Sao Mai” before the age of 20, Felix Auger -anssime, Federer has lost 1-2 disappointment. The set ratios are 6-4, 3-6 and 2-6 respectively.
As planned, players will have to attend the press conference after each match. However, after receiving defeat against Auger -anssime, Federer suddenly arrived 2 hours late. In an interview with the press, the Swiss tennis player was extremely disappointed:
“I feel that I need more time to overcome this disappointment, especially after what happens in Set 3. I am not satisfied when I ended the match like that, like in Geneva Open. I want to press the press conference quickly and simply, want to have time to prepare to not come here to sit in the sweating scene or annoying state. That's why I'm late.
After today's match, I feel very negative. This is not my style. My attitude is really bad. At this time, I don't want myself to make any stupid decision. I and my team will come to Switzerland and consider what to do next.
A few weeks ago, I received information that the conversion of the field surface is not easy now. For me, the process of physical recovery is a huge challenge. Everyone who has undergone many surgeries understands what I'm saying. At this time, this is my biggest concern.
In general, I think Felix also played a great match. He has a very stable spirit of competition and the more he plays at the end of the match. Congratulations“, Federer said.
With what just said, Federer is likely to reconsider the ability to attend Wimbledon. The third Grand Slam of the year will start on June 28.
