Alexander Zverev Chats with Roger Federer: A Candid Conversation
Alexander Zverev: Hey Roger, it’s great to catch up! Between your matches, family, and everything else, how do you find time to breathe?
Roger Federer: Hey Sascha! You know, it’s all about balance. I think having a good support system around makes all the difference. And speaking of that, I hear your brother Mischa is really stepping up as your coach. How’s that going for you?
Alexander Zverev: Yeah, it’s been great! Mischa knows my game inside out. He pushes me hard, but it’s awesome having family in my corner. Speaking of family, how do you manage to keep such a strong bond with yours with all the traveling?
Roger Federer: It’s definitely tricky! But I’ve always made it a point to bring them along whenever possible. My kids have practically grown up on the tour. But hey, I noticed you’ve been exploring more creative training methods recently. What’s been the most fun or unusual thing you’ve tried?
Alexander Zverev: Oh man, definitely beach volleyball! It’s so different from tennis but great for agility. Plus, it’s a good way to unwind. Any unusual training techniques you remember from your peak days?
Roger Federer: Ha! We used to do this thing called “tennis on ice.” Basically, trying to play on a sheet of ice. Slips, falls, and laughter guaranteed! But tell me, Sascha, with all your recent successes, how do you keep pushing for more?
Alexander Zverev: That’s hilarious, Roger! For me, it’s about focusing on the next challenge and remembering why I started playing in the first place. Speaking of challenges, what was the toughest match you’ve ever played?
Roger Federer: Toughest match… I’d say that 2008 Wimbledon final against Rafa. Epic five-setter. But those are the matches you live for as a tennis player. How about you? Any particular match that stands out as a defining moment?
Alexander Zverev: Definitely the 2021 Olympics final. Winning gold for Germany was surreal. But enough about the serious stuff! What do you do to relax off the court?
Roger Federer: I love spending time in nature, hiking with my family. And of course, a bit of golf here and there. What’s your go-to way to unwind?
Alexander Zverev: I’m big into gaming! It’s a fun way to chill and connect with friends around the world. Plus, there’s always some friendly banter. Speaking of connecting, what’s one piece of advice you’d give to the next generation of players?
Roger Federer: Stay humble and curious. Always be willing to learn, whether it’s from victories or losses. And enjoy the journey. The wins will follow. Keep that fire going, Sascha!
Alexander Zverev: Thanks, Roger! Always inspiring to hear from a legend. Catch you soon, on or off the court!
Roger Federer: Cheers, Sascha! Keep soaring higher.
