“He wanted to ask me something”
Guest of the Today Show, Roger Federer unveiled a call for Rafael Nadalremaining mysterious about the purpose of this phone call. I spoke to him last week. He wanted to ask me something, we talked and I felt a little sorry for him that his summer didn’t go as well as expected because he had a difficult draw at Roland Garros. At the Olympics, he also had a difficult draw. He was hoping, I think, to get a medal ” he confided, reported by We Love Tennis.
“He can do whatever he wants. (…) That’s what I told him.”
« But you know, overall he can do whatever he wants. He’s been one of the most iconic tennis players in our sport and that’s what I told him.continues Federer.I just hope he can leave as he pleases, but he’s a great man, with a great career.. »
