Tennis News: Despite having a big name in the tennis world, Swiss tennis player Roger Federer has named the two young players he is most afraid of in the coming season.
Roger Federer closed the season by qualifying for the last four ATP Finals and losing in straight sets to the young Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas. And Federer called Tsitsipas as one of the players he feared in the 2020 season.
Season 2019, Tsitsipas enjoyed one of his best seasons by strolling into the Australian Open semifinals before winning the biggest title of his career to date, the ATP Finals. The 21-year-old beat Austrian Austrian Dominic Thiem at the O2 Arena in London in three tense sets.
After that, Tsitsipas immediately flew to Mexico to play an exhibition event against Federer which attracted 45,000 fans.

Federer appeared more convincing and won with 3-6, 6-4, 6-2. But surely, Federer has clearly seen the talents and abilities possessed by Tsitsipas and told TMZ, he called Tsitsipas one of the two players he feared ahead of entering the new season.
Federer also appointed Alexander Zverev as one of the players he predicts will become a tennis player that makes next season more difficult.
“At the moment there are several players,” Federer said of the young players who will shake again next season.
“They will make our progress even harder next season. I think Zverev, Tsitsipas and a number of other players will make the next season’s trip more steep. “
We know in advance, reported Tages Anzeiger, an agent who has long worked with Federer, Tony Godsick stated, “Roger will compensate his fans in Bogota.”
The target for now is to announce a new date in mid-December and hold an exhibition event at the end of March 2020, the period between tournaments in Indian Wells and Miami or after the tournament in Miami.
Starting the 2020 season, Federer will play at the Australian Open. At the 2019 Australian Open, he lost in the fourth round after winning his title twice in a row, namely in the 2017 and 2018 seasons. While now, he will start his off-season.
Before the Australian Open, Federer had decided that he would not participate in ATP Cup for family reasons, but towards the end of the season, he was forced to rethink the decision.
