Roger Federer Draws Parallel With Serena Williams’ Career.

Two of tennis’s greatest assets are Serena Williams and Roger Federer. These players have maintained their position on top after being on Tour for around two decades. The commitment showcased by these two supreme athletes towards the sport is noteworthy.

Recently, Roger Federer voiced his opinion on similarities with American star Serena Williams. Along this beautiful journey, they have come across various obstacles but they have somehow found a way to overcome these barriers. Having started their careers as teenagers, they have entered parenthood and the desire to compete for the biggest honors still remains high.

The 39-year-old player spoke on this topic and stated, “I mean you would think that we found ways to keep ourselves happy, motivated, and entertained and not let the negatives dominate our daily struggles and things we’re going through like any other tennis player. How we manage our day-to-day stuff with the family is very important because if you have a family it’s easier to walk away from it all.”

The Swiss ace reflected on the good and bad moments in their careers. However, anything less than being a winner is not enough. He also confessed that he never imagined himself to play till 39 years. He thought he would hang his boots much earlier.

The former World No. 1 further added, “Everybody goes through ups and downs. Our careers have been mainly ups for a long time and maybe it’s arguably easier to stay happy and motivated but at the same time only the best is good enough for us and it puts a lot of pressure on ourselves. Truthfully, I don’t think my goal was to play till 39 or 40. It was maybe till 35 I was thinking.”
