In a recent interview given to his sponsor Credit Suisse, Swiss Maestro Roger Federer opened up on his recovery amongst other aspects and also talked about the mammoth Australian Open final between Rafael Nadal and Daniil Medvedev.

Roger Federer found it tough to watch every single point of the 2022 Australian Open final

Federer, who shares good rapport with Nadal over the years, explained that he couldn’t watch every single point in the final as he had four children to take care of at home.

“The match took too long, and I’ve got too many children so I couldn’t watch every point, but I tuned in for the very end and it was nice to see the emotions. It gets you all emotional to see such an incredible hard-fought victory.”

“He has told me for many months now that he wasn’t feeling so well with his body and now he’s all of a sudden holding up the Australian Open trophy. And dreams come true, and I think that was a great example with Rafa. He is a great role model. I think tennis writes incredible stories.”

Nadal’s victory might just push Federer to go for glory one last time

On being asked over how he feels with his record getting broken by the Spaniard, Federer was immensely happy as he realizes how difficult it is to script history. As the Federer-Nadal rivalry was going on, the Swiss star managed to become the first player in the Open Era to win 15 slam titles, surpassing Pete Sampras‘ previous record.

Federer was also the first player to reach 20 major title. He achieved the feet four years ago after defeating Marin Cilic in five sets at the Australian Open. Rafael Nadal’s victory might just push Federer a bit in terms of going for greatness in his comeback.

However, it won’t be a cake walk for the Swiss Maestro as there will be intense competition among the youngsters who proved that they could take care of Federer both in slams and at other important events.

With no clarity still on his comeback, tennis world will love to watch a Federer-Nadal encounter on a big stage once again.
