A Courtside Chat: Roberto Bautista Agut and David Ferrer Talk Tennis and Life
Roberto Bautista Agut: Hey David, it’s always great to catch up. How’s everything going with the coaching and the academy?
David Ferrer: Hey Roberto! It’s going really well, thanks. It feels strange sometimes not competing, but watching the young talent grow is very rewarding. How about you? How’s the season treating you?
Roberto Bautista Agut: It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster, you know. Some good wins, a few tough losses, but that’s tennis. Always a fight, right?
David Ferrer: Absolutely, the grind never stops. Speaking of fights, I saw your match against Medvedev the other day. You were relentless out there!
Roberto Bautista Agut: Yeah, it was intense. Medvedev is such a tough opponent, but those are the matches that really push you to be better. What’s your take on these new up-and-coming players? Do you think we’ll see another “big four” era?
David Ferrer: It’s hard to say. The depth in men’s tennis is incredible right now. You’ve got guys like Medvedev, Tsitsipas, and Zverev, but also breakthrough talents like Alcaraz. It’s getting tougher to dominate like Roger, Rafa, Novak, and Andy did.
Roberto Bautista Agut: True. Speaking of Alcaraz, he’s a phenomenal talent. You’ve had a chance to work with him a bit, right?
David Ferrer: Yes, and let me tell you, the kid’s got it all—speed, power, and a strong mindset. It’s like looking at the next generation of the sport filled with potential.
Roberto Bautista Agut: It’s exciting, no doubt. By the way, how do you keep your calm during those nail-biting moments? I could use some tips!
David Ferrer: (Laughs) Years of practice and maybe a bit of stubbornness. Remember, it’s all about controlling what you can control. You can’t win every point, but you can always give your best effort.
Roberto Bautista Agut: That’s solid advice. I’ll keep that in mind for my next matches. Hey, before we wrap up, any fun off-court hobbies you’re into these days?
David Ferrer: Actually, I’ve been really into cooking lately. Experimenting with new recipes is a great way to unwind. How about you?
Roberto Bautista Agut: Nice! For me, spending time with my dogs and going for long walks is my therapy. They help keep me grounded, you know?
David Ferrer: Absolutely, pets are the best. Well, Roberto, it was great chatting with you. Best of luck with the rest of your season!
Roberto Bautista Agut: Thanks, David. Same to you with the academy and everything else. Let’s catch up again soon!
