The corona lockdown made Severin Lüthi’s hair sprout. After Roger Federer’s Davis Cup captain and coach was still shaved at the Davis Cup in Peru at the beginning of March, he now appears with a full beard and frizzy hairstyle.
–
His interview partner Christopher Kas was terrified at the beginning of the conversation at «Tennisnet». Lüthi jokes in Instagram chat that he made the hair extra. «Now everything is sitting!»
–
The conversation then deals with a variety of topics. Of course also about Roger’s current situation. “He’s fine. We just got on the phone. At the moment we have a lot of contact, otherwise that’s not always the case, »reveals Lüthi.

That’s how it went with the Cry-Baby affair
However, Lüthi speaks less about the topicality, he reminisces more. Above all about the victory in the Davis Cup 2014 and the pioneering double in the final against France. «I found Stan incredibly double. He had energy, I get goosebumps today, ”recalls Lüthi. «I noticed how Roger also responded to this. They complemented each other so well. »
–
It looked very different the week before. In the emotional semi-final of the ATP Finals between Federer and Wawrinka, the cry-baby affair only started. Roger’s wife Mirka put Stan down from the stands as a crybaby. Then Federer injured his back and had to give up for the final after the win.
–
“There were still a few problems internally,” says Lüthi. «It is incredible how the two solved it. Stan was able to laugh about it again on Sunday on the train to Lille. » Wawrinka said at the time that they had created such huge problems within 10 minutes. Lüthi: «But it’s unbelievable how they reacted, and with what size. Both have everything subordinated to the goal. »
–
The story is then known. Roger Federer won the decisive match against Richard Gasquet and Switzerland won the Davis Cup for the only time in history.
–
New generation benefits from training with Federer
It is unlikely that this will ever happen again. Even if a new, promising tennis generation is currently in the starting blocks. Lüthi also talks about the Swiss tennis teenagers Dominic Stricker, Leandro Riedi, Jeffrey von der Schulenburg and Jérôme Kym.
–
«The boys are talented. But there is still a long way to go, »he warns. «Talent is not enough. The step from top junior to top hundred player is more difficult than before. »
–
–
But training with the boys is also a win for Federer. «It is interesting for Roger and also inspiration with the young players. This way you stay young when you train with boys from time to time. They are cheeky and full of energy. He also remembers the past and himself. »
