Roger Federer feels better playing at US Open than in Wimbledon – Tennis News
World number one, Roger Federer, took some time out after her conquest in the third round of the US Open Championship on Sunday. He was glad to be playing in the year’s fourth Grand Slam Championship at New York and pointed up
some pleasant differences that he feels while playing at the hard courts at Flushing Meadows. He recently won the Wimbledon Championships after beating the likes of the fourth ranked Briton star, Andy Murray, at the All England Lawn tennis Club. However, the
following feelings from the Swiss Maestro possibly hint at his liking tilting more towards US Open than Wimbledon.
He commented in a press conference, "You don't have the night sessions at Wimbledon. I mean, normally you don't. Now with the roof you might have some. It's not the same as here. Then you have, I don't know, advertising on change
of ends. You have music, you name it, kiss cam, you have fan cam, the whole thing. It makes you laugh. The focus is obviously different. You try to find a way to handle it, and it can give you a lift when you feel the crowd is having a good time."
Federer is expected to lift the US Open title and take his tally of Grand Slams to 18. However, the likes of the Serb former world number one, Novak Djokovic, and the Olympics gold medallist, Andy Murray, are doing their best to
stop him from achieving that milestone. However, if he likes New York better than London; then probably it is high time for everyone to realize that he is going to rock the show and repeat the performance he showed at the grass courts of Wimbledon, earlier
this year.
Nothing is for granted and the 30-year-old Swiss legend will have to earn his victories but the way he overpowered the Spanish star, Fernando Verdasco, in straight sets; it definitely looks like that the Swiss Maestro will dethrone
the Serb superstar, Djokovic, by not allowing him to defend his title that the Serb won last year.
Everyone is up for an exciting last three rounds at New York.
