Gabriela Sabatini has expressed her respect for Roger Federer and shared an incident she happened to have with the…
The Swiss Maestro is Sabatini’s favorite player, and Federer himself confessed to having a crush on her when he first broke into the pro tennis scene as a teenager.
I obviously think highly of Roger Federer. The 1990 US Open winner and former World No. 2 said to the Argentine newspaper La Nacion that it was enjoyable to watch him play. The tennis player from Argentina, who is currently living in Zurich, claimed to have run across Federer and his family. “It was a complete coincidence when we first met in the streets of downtown Zurich,” Sabatini remarked.
“It was a complete coincidence when we first met in the streets of downtown Zurich,” Sabatini remarked. However, it did occur. He and his wife and daughters were strolling down Bahnhofstrasse, the major thoroughfare in the city, when I chance to glance by.
According to Sportskeeda, Federer was actually forced by the media to acknowledge that Sabatini was his childhood idol when he was initially establishing himself as a tennis star. During his recent trip of South America, Sabatini sent Federer a video greeting that read, “I had the chance to get to know you.” Because of all positive you stand for in the tennis world, we are incredibly fortunate to have you. You are the best person overall, too. Federer also showered Sabatini with accolades, demonstrating the reciprocity of the admiration.
Though Toni Nadal believes that Novak Djokovic, the current world number one, is the best tennis player of this age, Rafa Nadal’s toughest opponent to far has been Novak Federer.
As his illustrious career draws to an end, Federer, who turns 39 in August, leads the field with 20 Grand Slam singles victories, with Spaniard Rafael Nadal trailing closely behind with 19. With 17 majors, Djokovic trails the Swiss by three, and he is one year younger than Nadal, who turns 34 next month. “I think Federer is an amazing player. I enjoy watching Roger Federer a much,” Toni said of the Eurosport Players’ Cut show, which this week features Rafael Nadal.
