Roger Federer: 'I hope Alexander Zverev becomes world No.1' AUGUST 10, 2018 19:40 by LUIGI GATTO 来源：https://tinyurl.com/y9zoucnn (Tennis World) Roger Federer spoke about Alexander Zverev's big potential many times. The German player is currently world No.3 and is coming from the Washington title defence. In an interview, Federer was asked if Zverev can be the No.1 in future. 'I hope he can do it, you know', the Swiss confessed. 'Clearly he has a big game and nice technique and good attitude and all that. I think every day that goes by he's going to learn more and only going to become more stronger. It's normal. He will only get better from here. Once he's past 40 years old, he will start going down again maybe. No.1 is always a big ask. A lot of things need to align for that: consistency, fitness, mental. So you make it sound like you just become world No.1, like, at will. If you look at who's been No.1, there is not really that many players. I hope he can do it. I think he's a great talent.' Another young player, Denis Shapovalov, can have a bright future. The Canadian hits the one-handed backhand, which is not something usual among young players. Speaking about the future of this shot, Federer said: 'From moving now on forward we will see double-handed backhands predominantly, which is how I would teach my kids, as well, to play tennis. I think it's just easier. Double-handed backhand, you can always fight a wrong position with the left hand, let's say, if you're a right-hander. You know, on the return it's the same thing. You might have a little bit less reach, but you can also let go and still reach it. I think a double-hander is the way to go, but I hope it's not a dying breed, you know, like you said. I think it just looks nice, a one-handed backhand. You mentioned Thiem, Gasquet, Stan, they all look good, those one-handed backhands, especially if there is power and in defense it looks great. Grigor, same thing. So it's nice to see Denis also keeping that alive and same with Thiem and young guys coming up that it's still going. But I think we will always be outnumbered from this point moving forward. Unfortunately Björn Borg had too big of an impact on this game. He just doesn't know it sometimes (smiling).' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 好 这篇来的及时 耶XD 重点摘录： 1.Roger很看好Sascha有朝一日会是世界第一 （感动QQ） 并提出成为世界第一的要件为协调性、保持健康及心理素质。 2.若是Roger要教自己的小孩打网球，他也会让他们练双反 双反已是目前主流，但是不希望单反逐渐消失 单反就是赏心悦目，力量展示跟防守的灵活度极具有破坏力 很高兴新生代如Shapo、Thiem仍然打单反 Borg大概没想过他的双反会对网球的发展影响如此之大XD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 谢谢Roger!!!　 开心　Sascha好好加油～　Be patient!!! --
