Ferrero reveals Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer's main strengths
knows how it feels to compete against and . In an interview, Ferrero spoke about the biggest qualities of these two legends: They both impressed me a lot, in different ways.
Nadals ability to compete is surprising, while Federers technique is what impresses you the most, said Ferrero. What is needed to crack the top 10 rankings? A lot of hard work and consistency. To be a top 10 player you have to be a great player for the entire year, you cannot play very well in a tournament and not well in others, because you cannot crack the top ten this way. Commenting on his relationship with Alexander Zverev, with who he split earlier this year, Ferrero added: We met each other in some tournaments.
His agent contacted me and so we started working together. But we stopped the co-operation because we did not have the same thoughts on how to work, he is a great player and I hope he improves in the future. But we have a very good relationship. About the future of the Spanish tennis, Ferrero said: Now there is Pablo Carreno Busta who is a great player, for the future you have interesting players like Nicolas Alvarez, Nicola Kuhn, Alejandro Davidovich and Carlos Alcaraz who, like Pablo, shaped in my Academy and is coached by me. What about Garbine Muguruza? Garbine, like many male and female players over the world, is still not able to consistently stay at the top.
She definitely has the abilities to reach it and stay there, I am sure about it, but she has to improve in some aspects, both tennis-wise and mentally. Influence of social media on the tennis players: I think that the whole technology, not just social media, distract them.
Before, when I trained in my academy, I got to bed and I did not have much else to do, I was thinking only about resting. Now a player can spend hours with some device before going to sleep, I think its not good. New Davis Cup format: I think the Davis Cup needed some changes.
We have to be patient, then it will be time to say if the new format will work. ALSO READ: Rafael Nadal: Worse players than David Ferrer won a Grand Slam title
