But Darren Cahill, Jannik Sinner‘s current coach and Andre Agassi’s former, has made a revelation that provides insight into a lesser-known facet of the legendary Swiss tennis player’s personality. After a brief period of time spent working with Federer, Andre Agassi’s ex-coach witnessed the athletes play that drove his success.

Although Federer’s discipline and tenacity were well known, Cahill illuminates another aspect, offering a novel insight into the thinking that elevated him to legendary status. Let’s take a look at the 43-year-old tennis legend’s unknown principle.

Darren Cahill reveals Roger Federer’s clever strategy!

Recently, in a podcast conversation, Agassi’s ex-coach talked about how, even though he has only worked with him for a few weeks, that too a long time ago, he was taken aback with the players’ dedication toward his craft.. He stated, “I was stunned with how hard he worked on the court for 4 or 5 hours blocks and I never knew this about Roger because if you go and watch Roger on the practice court warming up for a match, it looks like he is going out to play with the Country Club boys.”

While many might think, Federer was just saving his energy before the main event, there’s a far more tactical reason as to why the player used to behave laid-back.

He added, “But he is just slapping the ball around barely moving his feet, you know. And he said, ‘Darren, all the hard work is done in the lead up, just have to feel the ball and feel good about the game. So everything is done away from the public eyes‘.”

However, it’s just not Darren Cahill who got a glimpse of Federer’s superiority as even Ivan Ljubicic, another coach who worked for him opened up about the hidden side of the charismatic Federer that is admired by the world.

When Ivan Ljubicic revealed the calmer side of Federer’s personality

Ivan Ljubicic, who backed Roger Referer for over half a decade, provided some great insights into the intricacies of working with the champ, two years ago. The Croatian also highlighted the 43-year-old Swiss maestro’s ability to listen intently and communicate effectively.

He stated, “It is just that you have the feeling that he soaks up everything you say, and he is always open to trying new things. If I told him to try a two-handed backhand, he would try it. Roger is aware that his strong character and charisma can cause people to be in awe of him, so he is trying to make it easy on the coaches.” Ljubicic is the last coach to have worked closely with the former world number one, having been his coach from 2016 until the tennis legend retired from the game.

So what’s clear Roger Federer’s superiority on the tennis court isn’t just rooted in talent but long hours of back-breaking hard work too!
