Mozda ti za par godina bude jasnije plus Roger se penzionisao jer ga je telo izdalo, dakle ne pod svojimuslovima, a to je uvek najgore za sportistu.

Duzi intervju, tj. prepricane izjave Roger made the decision about retiring a few days after Wimbledon. There was no progress with the knee. He hesitated to go to Wimbledon for the jubilee but he had that Sunday off. He was relieved that he went there and that there was no close filming of him. He was very emotional just like other players. Roger said that he was physically fit in the beginning of summer, could even do high jumps. After he made the decision about retiring Roger went on vacation and talked with Mirka about it afterwards. He was extremely tired during vacation after the hard practice. He slowed down his practice in July but tried to stay fit. In normal life knee is ok for him. He hopes to be able to play football again and to do skiing. Biking and swimming is no problem for him. The comeback last year was very difficult for him, far away from being at 100 %. To reach the QF in Wimbledon was incredible. The last set vs Hurkasz was one of the worst hours in his career. Roger said the exact kind of injury would be private and that he sometimes didn't want to know everything himself, only what was important for his rehab. Laver Cup would be ideal for his farewell, it wouldn't have been possible at the USOpen. It would be nice to have Björn sitting on the bench and to be surrounded by other players. It would make it easier to play the last match in a team. He could see the fans one more time and thank them. He didn't just wanted to disappear. He mentioned that he wanted to play again, even if it's been small tournaments with few points. He would have noticed that he most likely would have never been able to play Majors again. Roger said he would like to play exhos and that he would still have the chance to fill stadions. It doesn't always have to be 52 000 like in Cape Town. His big wish is to play an exho in the next 6-9 months and to invite all his coaches to say Thank you to everyone. One could organize this now that his retirement is official. Roger mentioned that he wants to keep practicing and to stay fit. Regarding his future plans he said that there is the foundation, ON and his sponsors. He could even imagine commentating tennis matches even though he always said he would never do this. But to comment a few matches in Wimbledon... To be present on the tour from time to time would allow him to keep the contact with the tour, the players and the new generation. And it would give him a reason to watch tennis, something which he likes to do. Roger revealed that the last years would have been tough for him, but even more so for Mirka, who wouldn't really have enjoyed it anymore to see him play with all the injuries. He felt sorry for her. She would be relieved that it is over now. Roger told the kids one day before the public announcement. They were emotional and asked whether they would never go to Halle, Wimbledon or Indian Wells anymore. He answered that they could go when they want to. Somehow they would be sad, on the other hand they used to say: Quit playing tennis, then we can go skiing. 3 out of the 4 children cried after Roger told them about his decision.

Bilo bi savrseno da bude strucni konsultant za vreme slemova na ESu lepo je rekao: To the gamo of tennis I love you and I will never leave you

Auuu kakav trac, to nisam nigde procitala

Nisam tagovana, ali ja se spremam da kupim Everdell, a sad najvise igramo Arnak, ta igra mi se bas svidja

Ako je moguce bez nekih tupavih provokacija...

Ne znam sta da ti kazem, pogledaj bolje...

Koja steta, poen nije priznat jer je zamalo presao preko mreze

Ne razumem, kakve veze ima slika sa mamom, ja pricam o Mirki. A zasto se Cicipas ne bi slikao, on igra LC, dosao je vec u London i trenirali su.

Nije igrao, ali sam mislila da je koleno u boljem stanju i da ce da izdrzi jos jednu sezonu sa par turnira. Jedno je kad je povredjen, u ljudskoj prirodi je da se nadas, a drugo je kad je definitivno i kad je kraj. A sto se tice sponzora, Uniklo nije nista trazio od njega sto se tice tenisa, to je on vise puta naglasio i rekao da mu je to bilo ekstremno bitno.

Koliko ce nedostajati, jos uvek mi je sve nerealno

Intervju sa Ljubicicem, skroz je jasno da on moze da igra, ali bi ispadao u prvim kolima, a to bi bilo suludo da radi ▸ By the way, how did you know from Roger Federer that he was ready to say enough? Ljubicic: Obviously it was a shared, elaborate decision. A choice that Roger arrived at with great serenity when he realized that the recovery was not going in the right direction and above all the times were getting too long. Being a wise and very intelligent man he realized that at 41, and after such an incredible career it was time to say enough. ▸ Without the possibility of maneuvering? Ljubicic: No. It wouldn't make sense to him. We're used to thinking of Federer as a classy, elegant player but let's not forget that he is a winner. One who doesn't take the court if he doesn't know he can compete at his level. ▸ Will we see him again after the Laver Cup? Ljubicic: Certainly. Roger loves tennis too much, he lives off tennis. He will make performances if he is well, he will stay in his world because playing is what he has always loved to do. Even when I visited him with my son, the first thing he wanted to do was play. I think that if he could he would also sleep on the tennis court. Can you tell us how he asked you to become your coach? Ljubicic: We were at lunch and so, out of the blue, he made me the offer. I was amazed, I knew he was working well with Edberg. Obviously I was very happy, enthusiastic. Then in the evening I thought about it and panic broke out. What could I do for Roger Federer? A huge responsibility. We used to talk, we traveled... They were always talking about tennis and watching tennis. From juniors, to wheelchair, to legends, always... Then of course I had to be ready in moments of difficulty. Like that final lost at Wimbledon 2019... Yes, but it wasn't the worst time. There we were sad and sorry because Roger had played better for all 5 sets, but in the end we toasted the umpteenth final played at Wimbledon. Of course, we didn't know it would be the last... At Halle 2021, when he lost to Aliassime. He was in pain, he was dejected. He knew he was going to Wimbledon with no chance to win, and it was a great pain for him. We hoped for a physical miracle, but it didn't come. (i na jednoj nozi je stigao do QF) ▸ How important was Mirka to Roger's career? Ljubicic: I've always heard unfair descriptions of her, of a tough woman. This is absolutely not the case. It was a constant, discreet point of reference. She was there when she had to be, she was a tennis player and she knew the dynamics perfectly. It was crucial in difficult times. And she will be now, to accompany her husband in the new life.

Valjda na ovom novom renoviranom stadionu

Sami su krivi, nema nista nefer ovde, da su dobili Koreju sa 3:0, sad bi ovaj dubl odlucivao.

Tako nesto i ocekujem

Lepo je i Djokovic napisao, ali mi je i dalje Cicipas najbolji post ostavio.

Mirka sa suzama u ocima, mislim da to prvi put vidim

@Petar 91 Mozda on nije u stanju da odigra pravi ATP turnir, da eventualno igra dan za danom, zato je i izabrao LC, cak i ako bude igrao singl, to je skraceni mec. A i postavlja se pitanje da li ce igrati singl ili samo dubl, iako je u suprotno sa pravilima LC. Inace, sto se tice ponuda da bude trener, to je Luti dobio, a ne Roger, sto vec ima logike.

Mekdonald sa najboljom slikom ikad

Iako su pravila LC da svaki igrac mora da odigra singl, sumnjam da ce se neko buniti ako Roger odigra samo dubl, a sve mi na to lici. Izgleda da on ne moze da odigra ni skraceni singl mec, tako da je moguce da ce odigrati samo dubl sa Nadalom i da ce to biti to. A ima i ovo Bas me zanima od koga, ko je to znao da on ide u penziju
