ATP > Fernando Gonzalez (about Federer): “I don’t know if he will win a Grand Slam again, but in three-set tournaments I think he can do something interesting”

The former Chilean player with the crazy forehand is not just anyone. Former world number 5 (End of January 2007), he won 11 titles on the circuit and was a finalist at the Australian Open in 2007.

Questioned by our colleagues from ClayFernando of course mentioned the future return of Roger Federer whom he knows very well (Editor’s note: He played it 13 times with only one victory to his name)

“I’m sure he’ll want to say goodbye at some point, but if he comes back, I think he’ll be looking for something important. I don’t know how he will be for a match in five sets, but to play three, I’m sure he still has the potential to get there. Roger knows his body very well, more than any young tennis player. The problem with a physical concern is particularly noticeable on the restart, when it’s time to chain matches. I don’t know if he will win a Grand Slam again, but in three-set tournaments I think he can do something interesting”.
