Roger Federer reveals the only bad thing about Australian Open
Roger Federer revealed what's the bad part about playing at the Australian Open. The world No. 3 clearly loves the tournament's facilities and environment, he won there six times but in an interview to The Project Federer confessed: “The thing is the Australian Open, I call it the Happy Slam. It’s a great event. The only hard part is that are 300 players and 300 coaches and guests and more and this and that – and it just ends up being so many people at the site. It’s OK and we’re happy to see each other. But every corner you see someone else and it’s another handshake and another ‘hello’ and another this. At the Hopman Cup, it’s just about 25-30 players. It’s super intimate, it’s super relaxed and quiet. Whereas here it’s just a different animal. Sometimes it can get quite tiring. Otherwise it’s all good."
Federer also commented on the good and bad parts of playing several tournaments around the globe: “Sometimes you feel tired, sometimes you travel a lot and it’s just an extra tournament. It’s a lot to ask sometimes of certain players, but at the same time it’s our hobby that became our dream job. Then you’ve got to also ask yourself the question: ‘Isn’t it easy to get excited and motivated?’ So I understand where it comes from but at the same point I took a decision to go in the other direction. To say I would not allow it to happen anymore. I will always put in my best effort. I will learn it over the course of my career and thankfully today I’m more known for my good performances than my lacklustre performances.”
