In addition to being one of the greatest players of all time, Roger Federer is known for his calm and patience on the court. He is the one who does not lose his temper even in the hardest moments and, therefore, is a great source of inspiration for the youngest.
In a recent interview with We Love Tennis, former Roger Federer coach Madeleine Barlocher revealed how she became a calm person. Although he believes his wife, Mirka, played a role in it, he mentioned that it was due in large part to the efforts of his first coach, Peter Carter.
“At the time, only Peter Carter could really calm him down. Roger and Peter got along very well. Carter helped him a lot and trained him well on a tactical level, especially during competitions.
His experience on the circuit and his level of play have given him a lot. Peter brought serenity, ”Barlocher said in the interview. According to Barlocher, it was Carter who brought serenity to Federer. He also reflected that Peter was able to keep the Swiss Master calm and also helped him develop his tactics on the court.
In the same interview, Barlocher stated that Federer learned a lot from Carter. He stressed that the two of them used to go to tournaments together and Carter had a special talent for keeping all of his students calm and collected.
“In addition, he managed to calm all the Juniors. Roger learned a lot at his side, in managing his matches, because Peter accompanied him at tournaments. Later, he even went to the study center in Biel where Roger was training.
They continued to play together in the Challengers and the big youth tournaments. Roger has always been very little injured in his career, “added the former coach. Roger Federer recently retired from the National Bank Open and the 2021 Cincinnati Masters.
However, fans believe that he will return to the court very soon. Will he be able to triumph at the 2021 US Open?
