Roger Federer:'John McEnroe is in front of a mic, he will always say stuff'
Roger Federer does not really believe that his four-set loss to Stefanos Tsitsipas will definitely mark the changing of the guard in tennis with the next generation taking over the older guys. In press conference, speaking of John McEnroe's quotes, Federer said: 'He's in front of the mic a lot. He's always going to say stuff. I love John. I've heard that story the last 10 years. From that standpoint, nothing new there. About Stefanos, I think he's definitely done a really nice job now the last year and a half. I mean before that, too, obviously. But beating Novak in Toronto, the likes of Anderson and Zverev, now me here. That's what you need to do to get to the next level. He's doing that. It's really nice for him. I see him definitely being high up in the game for a long time. That was a good night for him tonight.'
On Federer's loss to Tsitsipas, Novak Djokovic said: 'Considering everything that he was going against, Tsitsipas did phenomenally well. You know, for someone that is 20 years old, it's definitely very impressive. You know, I wish him all the best the rest of the tournament. Roger also played well, but it was very -- it was very close match. One or two points have decided.'
