At 39, Roger Federer comes to the end of his formidable career. His trainer Ivan Ljubicic returned to his unprecedented performances and compared the Swiss to … Albert Einstein!
Roger Federer struggles to recover from the physical glitches that he accumulates in his knee. This is also the reason why he will not participate in the Australian Open, which will be held from February 8 to 21. A milestone event since it is the first time in his career that the Swiss have to give it up, but an event that in no way detracts from the monumental career achieved so far by Roger Federer. He who co-owns with Rafael Nadal the men’s record of 20 Grand Slam victories has won 103 ATP titles, including 26 majors and 28 Masters 1000. He also holds the records of 8 singles titles at Wimbledon, 6 titles at the Masters end of year, and a total of 17 major titles won on hard surfaces. Monumental.
Roger Federer ? “It’s like inventors, like Einstein”
“You know, I remember going to see Sampras win his 14th Slam and people were like, ‘Okay, my God, that nobody will ever come near you know’. And then you see these guys, especially Roger because he was the one who did it first. You know, they go to territory that no one has ever been to? You know it’s never been done before. So I incredibly admire these athletes who have been able to do something that has never been done before. It’s something, it’s like inventors, you know, like Einstein. How do you think of something that no one has thought of before? I mean, what makes them amazing? It must be the state of mind, you know. You really have to believe that you can do something that has never been done before and that you don’t make a big deal out of it. “ In an interview with Allistair McCaw’s podcast, Ivan Ljubicic, the current coach of Roger Federer, confided on what the Swiss achieved on the courts. Unheard of, a genius, hence the astonishing comparison with Albert Einstein.
