Diego Schwartzman on Roger Federer: “Being So Good Bores Him a Little”

Diego Schwartzman and his team joined Roger Federer to practice ahead of the Wimbledon Championships 2019. Roger Federer and Diego Schwartzman shared a picture of their practice in the area of ​​training courts in the Aorangi Park, a sector of the All England Club.

Diego Schwartzman was delighted to practice with the 8th time Wimbledon Champion, Roger Federer on the grass of All England Club. He said, “It’s good to be able to combine with him, especially at Wimbledon, where he always comes with the intention of winning and the training is very good.”

The Argentine later revealed that the Swiss Maestro likes their pronunciation and finds it funny. He continued, “He really likes the way we talk about ourselves. He enjoys listening to “Royer” with the pronunciation of the Y, it makes him laugh. I also have fun because it comes out a bit of what it looks like, a perfect Swiss man.”

“It’s just the opposite, funny and half crazy. They are spectacular experiences that I will take forever, even if sometimes I catch a bit of fiaca in practices and do not do it at full, because being so good bores a bit,” added Diego Schwartzman.

Juan Ignacio Chela, coach of Diego Schwartzman revealed that they always try to practice with Roger Federer ahead of any grand slam event. He said, “Almost always in the days leading up to the Grand Slam, we try to arrange with Roger. Top players love to rally with Diego because it’s very cool and gives them a lot of rhythms. Normally we arrange with Ljubicic, but before we wait for the painting to come out because if you play with a left-handed person, it’s better to do it with another one.”

While both the players won their first-round match in four-setter as Diego Schwartzman defeated Matthew Ebden 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 and Roger Federer shook off a slow start to defeat Lloyd Harris 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2.
