In Conversation: Juan Martin Del Potro and Roger Federer
Roger Federer: Hey Juan, it’s great catching up with you. How have you been? I know you’ve had quite the journey with injuries.
Juan Martin Del Potro: Hey Roger! It’s always good to see you. Yeah, it’s been challenging, but I’m getting through it. I’ve had more time to enjoy other things in life. How about you? Seems like you’re having a blast with retirement.
Roger Federer: I can’t complain. I’ve been spending a lot more time with my family and exploring new interests. But you know, I sometimes miss the thrill of competing. Do you feel the same way?
Juan Martin Del Potro: Absolutely. Nothing compares to the adrenaline of a match, especially those epic ones we had. I still remember our US Open final in 2009. It was such a high point in my career. How do you manage to stay in shape now? I see you still look fit as ever!
Roger Federer: Thanks, Juan! I make sure to stay active with different sports, and I’ve actually been dabbling in some tennis coaching. It feels amazing to guide the younger generation. Have you ever thought about coaching or maybe mentoring up-and-coming players?
Juan Martin Del Potro: Funny you mention it. I’ve been considering it lately. Sharing experiences and tips could be really rewarding. Plus, it’s a way to stay connected with the sport. Speaking of staying connected, have you been following the new crop of players? Any favorites?
Roger Federer: Definitely! There are so many talented players out there now. I really enjoy watching Carlos Alcaraz. He’s got such a dynamic game. What about you, anyone catching your eye?
Juan Martin Del Potro: Alcaraz is impressive, for sure. I’ve also been keeping an eye on Jannik Sinner. His consistency and power are fun to watch. It’s exciting to see where tennis is heading. Do you think we’ll see another era dominated by a few players, like ours?
Roger Federer: It’s hard to say. The competition is so fierce right now, and it’s tougher to dominate as we did. But that’s what makes it thrilling. The unpredictability! Juan, it’s always a pleasure chatting with you. Anything big coming up for you that we should look out for?
Juan Martin Del Potro: Just focusing on my rehab for now and taking life one day at a time. But who knows, maybe we’ll see each other at a benefit match or some event down the road. Always a pleasure, Roger. Let’s stay in touch!
Roger Federer: Definitely, Juan. Take care, and here’s to the journey ahead for both of us!
Juan Martin Del Potro: Cheers, Roger!
