Roger Federer’s curious press conference outing in Halle continues to generate a lot of ink.
As Roger himself evoked the idea of ”black” ideas, all the consultants on the tennis world have tried to decipher this message.
On Tennis Channel, Pam Shriver did not hesitate to bring up the idea that the Swiss should not line up if he feels far from his level: “This is really the first time that I feel uncomfortable with Roger Federer. I sincerely think he shouldn’t compete if he’s significantly below Roger Federer’s level and that was really the case in the last two sets at Halle ” explains the former American champion.
A ruthless observation, shared it is true by the biggest fans of Switzerland.
Pam Shriver also insists on the stress of the game on grass when we experienced the injury of the Swiss: « When you have knee problems, a slippery surface like grass can also cause anxiety ” says the American.
Finally, she asks the real question, that which consists of wondering about the possibility that things can get better during this year 2021: « If Federer had failed to play his best tennis at Roland Garros in straight sets matches on a soft clay court, how, two months later, could he do so on hard? ? »
For the moment, the hard is not relevant and it is already necessary that Roger can perform on his favorite turf.
