Awesome Federer interview from 2001. A must see for Fed fans.
Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxXDBDRfIA4&NR=1

"i don't know if anyome can dominate the tour the way Pete did, we'll see in the next few years..." LOL

great interview thx

 

[kOaMaster]

that interview is amazing! and the part about being number one and winning the first grand slam was absolutely correct. he really did had some confidence!

Geez, talk about terrible acne, lol.

Apparently winning made it go away. Proactiv ain't got nothin' on winning slams.

 

[kOaMaster]

hehe, 2 things about that:
he was 19 back then

and second: in an interview on sunday where he said he should be shaved (wet) since he's having a contract with gillette and doing this everyday, his skin feels a lot better and he's having less problems

Great interview. I love it when he says he hopes to win Wimbledon and maybe USO, once. How about 5 in the row each at 27 years old?

 

[joeri888]

Great interview.. Imo his english has vastly improved since then though.

Thanks for posting.
Great interview.

 

[the_drunken_master]

wow lol
wel Rog you've definately become bigger than Martina

 

[nikdom]

Great interview....I choked up a little bit thinking about how well he's done for himself and in the process brought so much joy to me and other fans.

Roger clearly mentions Pete as someone he looked up to - some folks dispute it but I think this interview made his thoughts clear.

 

[seffina]

Thanks for that. It was a great read and fun to see a young Roger.

That's a great interview. I especially loved the ending.

This may sound weird but it was kind of like watching a or my kid at the beginning of his growing up. The interview was very heart warming.

Good interview...Thanks for sharing...Who knew this guy would be one of the greatest champions in the history of tennis in 2001...

The French Open was Federer's worst Grand Slam winning performance.

He's lucky he did not have to play Nadal
or even Djokovic because they would of beat him.

I can't see Federer winning many more Slams. I think his time is almost up
but it's been a great run.

The French Open was also Nadal's worst losing performance. You really think Nadal would have won in that form???

Tommy Haas and Juan Martín del Potro could have beaten Federer
but they lacked the experience and both failed to close the show.

Nadal and Djokovic have shown that they can both put Roger away in big matches.

Too bad they didn't show they could put away Kohlschreiber and Soderling in big matches.

confidence

he's got so much more confidence now than he does starting his career, not as cocky as he is now...but then i guess, when you have a title as possibly the GOAT, then you can be cocky, right?

Nadal for sure.. but Djokovic? Are you including that AO SF when federer had mono?

:shock: I can't believe nobody, including me, didn't read/watch it back then.

Btw: It still surprises me what threads gather many posters and what not. Could it be so that attracting title is the deciding factor?
