It’s been ten years since Roger Federer won his first Wimbledon title and at this point, the Swiss star still feels that he’s a stronger player than before, even stating that he’s a “more complete player.”
“Today, because I’m stronger, because I have the experience, because I’ve played so much, I’m just overall a more complete player. In those 10 years, many things have changed: racquet technology, strings, balls, court speed. All these things have a big impact on the game. I also had to adjust accordingly to it.”
“If the game went into serve and volley, that’s what I would be doing today, too. I just had to adjust to the circumstances. Honestly, as a tennis player, you can never stop working on something. I always believe all of your strengths need work and all your weaknesses also need work,” he explained.
Federer won his first round match at the All England Club on Monday against Romania’s Victor Hanescu and the scoreline suggests that he’s not about to be written off the tournament or on tour yet – 6-3, 6-2, 6-0.
