Roger Federer dampens expectations for the next generation (Provided by Tennis World EN)
Roger Federer criticized fans who expect the next generation to quickly raise their level to that of the ‘Big Three’. “Nowadays we have more all-court players. Not so much the traditional slow or fast court players that we used to have. I think it’s important that the fans are patient.
Some expect all these guys to be at our level right away. When I was 19 I was inconstant. All players just needed a little time. I think the game keeps creating new champions and the game is in good hands. The Wimbledon final was incredible and the US Open is just around the corner,” said Federer.
Alcaraz copied the Big Three to win Wimbledon
Carlos Alcaraz’ coach Juan Carlos Ferrero admitted Alcaraz copied the Big Three to create a game-winning Wimbledon game. “It’s very difficult to explain, I think he learns things very quickly on the pitch and we have also seen a lot of videos of players moving very fast here.
So we borrowed a bit from Andy Murray, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. In the end it wasn’t easy but we made it,” Ferrero explained. In addition, Alcaraz is trying to surpass the Big Three.
“I hope to win as many titles as the three [die Big 3] to win! I don’t know… I would probably settle for half of what they have. Imagine that…I hope to be on the same level as them,” Alcaraz told L’Equipe, as revealed by We Are Tennis.

“I hope to win as many titles as the three won [the Big 3]!
I don’t know… Probably with half of what they got, I could be happy with it. So imagine… I hope to be at the same level as them.”
