Fans are quite happy that they will soon get to witness Roger Federer on the court yet again. The Swiss Maestro will first play in his home country at the ATP Geneva Open 2021 before heading to Paris for the French Open 2021. Federer will be playing a Grand Slam after almost 17 months and fans have quite a lot of expectations from him.
Even though many experts claimed that Roger Federer can excel at the French Open 2021, some believe that he won’t be able to play well at the tournament. One of them is Dominic Thiem’s former coach, Gunter Bresnik.
In a recent interview, Bresnik revealed that he doesn’t have big expectations from Federer, especially in Paris. He mentioned that the 39-year-old lacks toughness at this point in his career.

“In Paris, I don’t trust him to win anything. He just lacks the toughness of the match,” said Bresnik.

This is not the first time when experts and coaches haven’t believed in Roger Federer. The same had happened before the Australian Open 2017 when many highlighted that his career was over and he wouldn’t make a convincing comeback after the injury. However, the 20-time Grand Slam champion just stunned everyone with his remarkable performances at the Australian Open 2017 and ultimately, emerged as the winner of the tournament.
“He is dangerous”- Gunter Bresnik on Roger Federer
Even though Bresnik stated that Federer won’t be able to shine at Roland Garros 2021, he emphasized that one must never copy the great player. He also believes that Federer is a dangerous player whenever he steps on the court.
“You must never copy Federer. Everywhere he appears on a tennis court, he is dangerous,” added the tennis coach.
