“Most Perfect Guy in the World”: Frances Tiafoe Cites Roger Federer Example to Point Out the Critics

The Swiss maestro Roger Federer is the undisputed leader of tennis in the 21 century. His contribution to the sport and in other aspects will remain standing for ages to come. But even though he is loved and admired all over the globe, he can’t have possibly won all the hearts. America’s tennis talent Frances Tiafoe opens about learning to do things despite being ridiculously criticised.

The 22-year-old realised that even the 20 times Grand Slam winner is on the wrong page for many. However, Federer continues to go on and do his job in his own special way.

“Bet some people don’t like Roger Federer”: Frances Tiafoe

2019 Australian Open quarterfinalist Tiafoe has met Roger on three occasions in singles’ event in 2017, losing them all to the Swiss maestro.

The American said, “Real recognises real. Roger Federer to me is the most perfect guy in the world, and I bet some people don’t like him.” Being World No. 1 for a record number of weeks itself brings all kinds of attraction. But the 8 times Wimbledon champion has always led by example for the future tennis players.

Frances added, “You can’t please everybody and you kind of move with that energy. You do things that are right and these people are doing things that are right and they can sleep well at night knowing that. Some people are going to love it, some people are going to hate it, you’ve just got to swallow it.”

Considered as the new rising star of American tennis, Frances won his only ATP title at the 2018 Delray Beach Open. Battling with his own fear on and off the court, the American draws inspiration from the 103 ATP titles winner.

Rising questions on Federer returning to the Australian Open
