All You Need To Know About Roger Federer’s Family
Roger Federer will try to keep the matches as short as possible
Federer is recovering from his knee injury, and physical fitness is an aspect that he’ll certainly have to work upon extensively. Keeping his age in mind, Federer will definitely want to keep the matches short and win it in as few sets as possible to conserve his energy for the length of the event.
It is a fact that Federer is not really up to the mark when the match goes to the fifth set. Although he has managed to win some great five-setters in the last set, he’ll want to finish the matches as soon as possible, as his body might not permit him to play for 4-5 hours at the age of 39.
Also, Federer doesn’t really have a great record in long rallies. Where players usually set up their opponents by giving them too many backhands or forehands, he enjoys taking the point quickly. The former World No.1 will undoubtedly try to avoid the long rallies and be as aggressive as possible, as his ability to cover the court quickly has deteriorated over the past couple of years.
He’ll also surely not want to spend much of his energy in the early rounds of the tournament.
