Roger Federer reveals the only bad thing about Australian Open
revealed whats the bad part about playing at the Australian Open. The world No. 3 clearly loves the tournaments facilities and environment, he won there six times but in an interview to The Project Federer confessed: The thing is the Australian Open, I call it the Happy Slam.
Its a great event. The only hard part is that are 300 players and 300 coaches and guests and more and this and that and it just ends up being so many people at the site. Its OK and were happy to see each other.
But every corner you see someone else and its another handshake and another hello and another this. At the Hopman Cup, its just about 25-30 players. Its super intimate, its super relaxed and quiet.
Whereas here its just a different animal. Sometimes it can get quite tiring. Otherwise its all good. Federer also commented on the good and bad parts of playing several tournaments around the globe: Sometimes you feel tired, sometimes you travel a lot and its just an extra tournament.
Its a lot to ask sometimes of certain players, but at the same time its our hobby that became our dream job. Then youve got to also ask yourself the question: Isnt it easy to get excited and motivated? So I understand where it comes from but at the same point I took a decision to go in the other direction.
To say I would not allow it to happen anymore. I will always put in my best effort. I will learn it over the course of my career and thankfully today Im more known for my good performances than my lacklustre performances.
