After defeat by Andreas Seppi at Australian Open, Roger Federer admitted that he was afraid and struggled hard to win the match against Andreas Seppi from Italy. Roger Federer is the top ranked tennis player and he lost the match against Andreas by 6 – 4 7-6 (7-5) 4 – 6 7 -6 (7-5). Since 2003, it was for the first time for Roger Federer that he did not reach top last 4 players. Andreas Seppi among top ranking of tennis players is at number 46 and he was defeated by Federer in all last 10 matches.
After getting defeated by Andreas Seppi, Roger Federer said, “I felt for some reason yesterday and this morning it was not going to be very simple today. Even in practice I still felt the same.”
He further added, “I was just hoping it was one of those feelings you sometimes have and it’s totally not true and you just come out and you play a routine match.”
Out of 17 titles of Grand Slam, Federer has won only one title which was taken by him at Wimbledon in 2012. According to Roger Federer he was feeling some feeling of unease before the match started. He said, “This is a feeling I’ve had for 15 years. To me, I don’t read anything into that. It’s just not the best feeling to have. It’s not like I’m playing shocking or I’m feeling shocking. It’s like one of those things you look back and maybe think, ‘Yeah, I didn’t feel so good’. But if you win, you never even question it. If I were you, I wouldn’t read very much into that.”
Roger Federer started his year 2015 with an amazing win at Brisbane International. He attended an inaugural exhibition at International Premier Tennis League.
Roger Federer said after defeat, “Clearly I’ll have a look at it, but I don’t think I did anything wrong honestly. I wanted to go to India. I wanted to go back to Switzerland for Christmas. I practiced as hard as I possibly could. I can’t do more than that. Sure, the year ended late, but one week later than normal. At the end of the day, honestly I’m confident that what I did was the right thing.”
Well, according to me win and defeat is the part of game. Roger Federer is still the number one tennis player and he is the favorite of many tennis fans around the globe. Next month, his fans will see him in action in Dubai.
