Xinhua News Agency, Melbourne, January 18th question: Although age is a number, it was wonderful enough in the past-Federer approached the “300” record
Xinhua News Agency reporter Yue Dong Xing Hao Yalin
“Roger (Federer), didn’t you say ‘Age is just number? Look at Jamaica sprint star Otto, who is 40 years old and still competing in the Olympic silver medal at 58 years old-so, hasn’t your peak come yet?”
After being promoted to the top 16 Australian Network on the 18th and thrown out by reporters, 37-year-old Federer and the reporters of the entire publishing Hall burst out laughing.
“No, I don’t think so.” Federer said with a smile.
“I think the performance in the last 10 years has been very interesting, maybe more wonderful than the first 10 years of my career?”
“But think that as a father with four children, the years of my past career and my current body, I certainly want to be healthy all the time, until the day of retirement. However, to be honest, we still need to be realistic……”
Elegant and calm, concise and simple, and in control of the overall situation, No. 3 seed “Fei Tianwang” dropped three sets on the same day to eliminate the world’s 50th American 21-year-old general Fritz.
As the 20 Grand Slam singles champion, Fei Tianwang’s career has been or is close to more and more “three-digit records” :
the third round of the 18th duel, it was he who played the 100th game in the center stadium of the Australian Open
if he could break into the final of the Australian Open, it would be his 100th victory in the Australian Open
if he could win the Championship, he will become the unprecedented “seven champion King” of the Australian Open, which will happen to be the 100th singles champion title in his career.
In the next round, the King of the “post-80s” will face another player close to the “post-00s”-the 20-year-old Greek star and the 14th seed sisepas.
“It’s a completely different generation of players.” Federer said. “When their generation of players grew up, they used different rackets and shooting skills, and the coach’s philosophy was also different.”
“So today we can’t see too many online intercepts, but the next opponent is different. His playing style is relatively changeable and he will often surf the Internet. So the competition will be interesting.”
There will always be some unforgettable finals for Federer. “Of course, those important games, because you will be nervous, think, and certainly remember some. But in fact, the most difficult is often the second, third and fourth rounds of a race. Once you pass the pass, the next game will come, and you will not remember the last one.”
“The final is different. No matter you win or lose, you will take it and travel to the next stop.”
