Paul Annacone reveals his only regret about cooperation with Roger Federer
The working relationship between Roger Federer and Paul Annacone from 2010 to 2013 went pretty well. Under the American's guide, the Swiss won 11 titles including 2012 Wimbledon. But in the end, they stopped working together after a tough 2013 season where Federer dealt with back issues and had ended as world No. 6. Reflecting on their whole co-operation, in an exclusive interview with Tennis World USA Paul Annacone admitted he probably has just one regret, just related to the last year that they spent together. 'I do not know if I would do anything differently because in these moments we shared information (each other) and all the decisions were communicated very well', Annacone said. 'Maybe the one thing I would change, in 2013 when he was injured so often and he was never really healthy throughout the year, I may be would have taken a little more time with the recovery. That was a difficult time for us.'
How many years do Federer and Rafael Nadal have left in tennis? 'I hope many, but Rafa is getting injured a little bit more often, and Roger may be not able to play a full schedule but he can still compete at a high level playing a bit less. They are towards the end of their careers but I do not know when their retirement will happen. They do things that most people cannot do. I hope Roger stays around for a couple more years and I hope even more for Rafa.'
