Swiss Maestro Roger Federer has set many records in the sport of tennis. Winning 100 titles on the ATP Tour is one of them and he is the only man apart from Jimmy Connors to do this. But would you believe there was a time he thought he could not do it? Check it out.

Roger Federer Didn’t Believe He Could Win A Hundred Titles

As you can see in the above Twitter post, Roger Federer had 74 titles at the time of the interview. He talked about how he never thought he would achieve so much in tennis as he comes from a small village in Switzerland where expectations were not very high.

Roger went on to talk about whether he could win 100 titles. He said, “I would love to win a 100 titles, I have 74 right now. I don’t know if it’s possible, I don’t think it’s possible but we’ll see how that goes.”

Clearly, it went very well for the now 20-time Grand Slam champion as he managed to achieve this goal. And now he will probably be looking ahead at another goal – winning the race to become the GOAT of tennis.

Roger Federer has been battling his rivals Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic to become the GOAT of tennis. To end up as the GOAT he must end up holding one record – most Grand Slam titles. Currently, he is the one holding it but his rivals are getting dangerously close.

This is the reason why the Swiss Maestro has not retired yet even though he is 39 years old. He wants to make sure that his record remains untouched and he is probably training hard to make sure that happens.

Unfortunately for him, the ATP tour has been suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic. It is scheduled to return in July when he will have the opportunity to secure his position as the GOAT of tennis and many will be hoping he does exactly that.
