Horacio Zeballos recalls funny moment with Roger Federer in the locker room
In an interview to Que Digital, Argentinian player Horacio Zeballos recalled the selfie he toom with Roger Federer in a locker room. Zeballos will remember it forever. 'I liked it,' Zeballos confessed. 'The humility and the simpleness he has, it's amazing. We were in the locker room and he had not changed his outfits yet! I told him, "Roger, we can take a photo" and he told me "Yes of course, but let me wear the shorts", because he was coming from the shower. He wore the shorts, he quickly fixed his hair and he took the photo. He would be playing on the same night! He is really a genious.'
Zeballos also admitted that the players' longevity is because of their added professionalism. 'Now everything has got better. The players need to improve because kids who come from the bottom (of the rankings) are very strong physically, then you have to cope with them, you care a lot about your body and eating. Add it to the experience we have since many years on the Tour, it's a very important weapon to the best possible,' concluded the current world no. 180.
Meanwhile interviewed by ESPN, the Argentine Federico Delbonis commented on Federer's success. Delbonis, who lost to the Basel native this year in Indian Wells, said: 'He is one of the best sportsmen of all time. What he is doing is impressive and he brings many new things to the younger players who start in such a competitive sport, where you cannot always be at 100 percent.'
