Every tennis enthusiast has seen Roger Federer‘s personality on the court. The Swiss maestro has also displayed a variety of sides to his personality over time. He has exhibited his commitment, determination, and, at times, his humorous side too. But was the former world number one entertaining on the tennis court?

The 20-time Grand Slam champion is one of the most popular tennis legends of this era. With his charm, wit, and commitment to sports, he has dominated the tennis court and won over millions of fans.

Marcelo Rios believes Roger Federer is not entertaining

The Chilean former world number one tennis player, Marcelo Rios, in an interview with ESPN, shared who he believes is the most entertaining player, and his answer will shock tennis fans. In the interview, reported by Clay Historias de Tenis, he also discussed the reason behind his choice and the idea of entertaining the crowd while playing tennis. The 47-year-old former tennis player pointed out that tennis legend Roger Federer is not very entertaining and chose the Australian Bad Boy, Nick Kyrgios, and Fabio Fognini as the most entertaining tennis players.

He said, “Federer for me is not a player that you see and you say ‘how entertaining’. I like the way he plays because he’s a guy with incredible ease, very intelligent on the court, very good. But he is not a Kyrgios, a Fognini that you see him and you are waiting for him to make a fuss, to leave a mess. That’s more entertaining”.

However, a lot of tennis players might not agree with this. Last year, prior to the 41-year-old tennis player’s farewell tournament, Kim Clijsters shared the funny side of the Swiss ace.
