Inspired by Roger Federer, Malek Jaziri eyes great 2019 season
Malek Jaziri is 34 years old, but he believes that his best is yet to come. This year the Tunisian achieved some great results reaching the semifinals at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championship beating the likes of Stefanos Tsitsipas and Grigor Dimitrov. Jaziri tries to get inspired by Roger Federer to make his 2019 season an unforgettable one. 'The good thing about me at the moment is that I can see my life more squared now', Jaziri told Gulf News. 'I find it easier to see where I am headed. And to keep this direction I know that I have to work hard mentally, physically and technically so that I can do even better, especially at the Grand Slams and bigger tournaments on the ATP Tour. Roger [Federer] is a prime example. At 37, he is playing his best tennis. I am a late bloomer and I think I am pretty much headed the same way. My build-up is ready, confidence-wise and game-wise. Now is the time for me to work on being consistent and the results will automatically follow. I have taken on the best and I am aware what exactly I can do to get better. And that is pretty much going to be the path for me this season.'
Jaziri added: '2018 has been a great year for me, and had I done a few things better then I could have been even in the top-20 at the end of the season. But that said I’ve had my good moments and it is these times that are giving me the motivation and the confidence to look ahead to 2019 in a much smarter way.'
