In a conversation with Dan Kiernan on the “Control the Controllable” podcast, the 66-year-old British coach was asked to name a player that he would like to work with. And the first name that popped into his head was none other than that of the 41-year-old Swiss tennis legend.

Sears said, “If it’s a question of sitting there and watching and appreciating the tennis, I would sit there and appreciate Roger Federer. I don’t think he needs any of my advice at all but I’ll sit there and watch him and appreciate it because to watch, he was just majestic.”
