Edmund should have had different mental approach vs Roger Federer -Rusedski
Greg Rusedski was very pleased with Roger Federer's performance during his fourth round match against Kyle Edmund in Indian Wells. Speaking on Amazon Prime, the former world No. 4 said Edmund should have had a different mental approach: "He started the match by playing Roger Federer and not playing the ball. He didn't find the balance out there. In the last game, he actually played pretty well. I wish he would have played like that from the beginning. Had he done that, it might have been a little more interesting. But these things happen. It is a learning curve [for him]. And I'm sure he will be better in the future. Kyle never looked like he got his rhythm out there today. It looked like a deer in headlights when he walked out on court said: "It is amazing how well he moves at his age, his footwork, his timing, his movement. Everyone was saying at the beginning of the year was saying how is Roger going to play this year. He lost to Tsitsipas in Australia, won in Dubai. He's 8-1. Most people would be saying they'd love that start to the year and I think this is a huge event for him. If he wins this, back-to-back events, nobody will be questioning can he win another Grand Slam."
Rusedski also commented on Toni Nadal, Rafael's uncle, saying that winning a Grand Slam will be tougher for Federer. "At the end of last year, a lot of people were saying 'can this guy win another major, we're not sure'. Uncle Toni came out and said that is it for Roger. If he wins this its a statement saying 'I'm gonna to win all the big title again'."
