Roger Federer: fitness trainer talks about a rocky road to comeback

Paganini explained: “That means: you try to do everything that is possible. At the same time you have to do it several times so that the body learns to endure repetitions at a certain level. And then you have to pause and watch the body reacts. “

Federer had to endure two knee operations last year because the knee had been causing him problems for several years. “But you could have them under control, with adapted planning and specific exercises. He and the whole team had been dealing with this for a long time. The fact that a player who has played over 1500 matches has several construction sites on his body is part of everyday life” said the 63-year-old.

Paganini, who has been the Swiss man’s fitness and conditioning coach for over 20 years, spoke in an interview about the long, rocky road: “The first time he jumped the hurdle again, he was almost euphoric.”

He added, “When you see that, emotions run up. You get younger when you watch him train.”

Paganini on possible thoughts of resignation from Federer

His conditioning coach also commented on possible thoughts of resignation from Federer: “I can’t imagine that the player doesn’t even ask such questions. But when he decided on the operation and said: I want to know again, it was logical. that he did not want to think about the end of his career. He had decided on a path that would take several months and aim at a comeback – not unpacking the suitcase. “

Paganini is also of the opinion that Federer can definitely still win titles at the age of 39, “but it depends on how healthy he is. It is still a little early to answer this question. It is also the fifth generation he is playing against. “

You could still “still expect everything from him,” said the conditioning trainer and added: “Although you know that it won’t be easier, it will be more difficult. But I have a great deal of trust in him and the way he tries to do that To get the most out of his goals. He has a healthy stubbornness, just doesn’t give up. And yet he is outwardly relaxed. “
