"Roger Federer is tennis,” Matteo Berrettini

Roger Federer is the greatest player ever and he has been inspiring millions around the world for nearly two decades. Matteo Berrettini also praised Federer’s arch-rivals Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic for taking the sport to another level. But Berrettini grew up watching Federer, idolizing him and taking inspiration from him. “Roger is tennis,” Berrettini said on an Instagram live with Chris Evert. “He can do whatever he wants. It’s so easy. He is my idol. And I can talk about him for two days. He makes it look like he born like that.” “Novak is a machine. For me, he is the worst to play. I remember playing him in London at the tour finals, had nearly 70% of my first serves in the 2nd set and still lost the set 6-1. I couldn’t hold my serve. He has an amazing return. His backhand is really good,” he added. “Nadal’s intensity is unbelievable. It doesn’t matter if the score is 5-0 and 0-5,” the Italian concluded. Source: Essensiallysports
