The Swiss Maestro Roger Federer ended his two-decade tennis career this year after hanging up his racket and playing his final match. However, despite his retirement from the sport, fans and athletes still talk about the era when the Swiss Maestro ruled the court.

Recently, there has been a discussion on Twitter about how the variety of courts and the speed of the court prevent players from playing differently and going the other way. Tennys Sandgren joined in the chat in between and blamed the TV ratings for all of these shifts. Fans recalled the moment he lost to Federer back in 2020, but the 31-year-old puts the blame on the opposing team.
