For all those who are passionate about the green ball around the world, the name Federer is probably so familiar to those who follow this subject from the first decade of the 21st century until now.
In most sports, 40 years old is the time when athletes have left their career or thinking about “retiring” when their health is no longer full.
However, despite having to take a break from the Australian Open 2020 and underwent two knee surgeries until December 2020, when people thought the “speed train” would end the journey of a career at the age of 39, the Swiss legend has returned to practice in Dubai to prepare for the 2021 season.
The Australian tennis tournament expanded 2021, Federer withdrew from the tournament when he thought that he was not ready to play.
In order to answer the audience's questions all over the world about why the “express train” not only has not retired but also carefully prepared for the new season, recently, Rene Stauffer- who has spent time writing a lot of books for Federer who shared about his conversation with physical coach Paganini.
Paganini shared his feelings about the attitude of training and the spirit of the world's No. 1:
“When deciding to stop, he will stop. At that time, he simply couldn't or did not want to continue. Of course everything is limited. Federer is practicing very hard because he wants to know: What is the limit, what stage is he at?
What is often underestimated in him is patience. Without patience, he must have retired for a long time. In order to constantly get the desire in training, he must have unbelievable personal qualities. Even mentally. In the matches now, he is facing the fifth generation of players in his career. The rivals are younger, stronger and stronger.
I would like to emphasize that Federer knows the upcoming path will be a bit longer. I could not imagine that he did not ask questions about withdrawal. But when he decided to go to the operating table and said, 'I want to know if I will continue anymore', it is reasonable for him to not want to think about his career ending. He wants to choose a further but promising path, not saying goodbye. ”
In the past, Federer also had a long period of break and returned strongly with 6 months after the defeat of Milos Raonic in the Wimbledon 2016 semi -finals. He then returned in the first half of the 2017 season to win both Australian Open and Wimbledon.
However, at the present time, his age problem has also made the Steve Flink writer not too optimistic about Federer's opportunity when returning to the tournament at the age of nearly 40. He said: “Waiting to see how Federer will show how interesting after returning.”
Flink also pointed out that the last two knee surgeries will greatly affect the physical condition of the Swiss tennis legend in the next re -export.
The tournament marks the return of “Express train” this year will be Miami Open 2021 as the current champion of the tournament when the Miami Open 2020 is not held.
In the return of the upcoming Federer is also the reunion of “Big 3” after more than 1 year from Australian Open 2020.
