ATP:”I don’t see anyone winning 10 majors” – Federer doesn’t believe in new series winners

Roger Federer has a hard time imagining that one of today’s young players will become the series winner in Grand Slam tournaments.

Incredible 48 majors have amassed Roger Federer (20), Rafael Nadal (16) and Novak Djokovic (12) in what is arguably the strongest era in tennis history. There are five other gentlemen who have broken the sound barrier of ten Grand Slam triumphs in the singles, but a triumvirate has never before set itself apart from the rest of the field in such a concentrated form.

At the moment, I don’t see anyone who can win ten slams or more,”said the” Maestro “on the verge of the” Laureus World Sports Awards “, where he was awarded two sport Oscars.

For one or two Grand Slam titles, many would be in doubt,”ten majors, on the other hand, it’s hardly possible – people didn’t do that for me either,” Federer had finished his almost five-year drought at the Australian Open in 2017 at the world’s four biggest tournaments. It was followed by renewed triumphs in Wimbledon and Melbourne as well as the return to the world ranking throne two weeks ago.

Without self-confidence, a run like this is not possible,”added the 36-year-old Swiss,” but if you get a real roll – just like Djokovic and I did – you’ve found your game or your coach has shown you the missing pieces of the puzzle, you don’t look back. And suddenly it’s eight or ten Grand Slam titles, that’s crazy.”
