Roger Federer is not someone who breaks rackets in locker room - Coach
What does Roger Federer appreciate of Severin Luthi? It was the 42-year-old coach and Switzerland Davis Cup captain himself to give an answer. "That he can always count on me, whatever the circumstances are, and that I will give my 100 per cent to have success", said Luthi.
How does Federer handle losses? "He is not someone who breaks rackets in the locker room. In the same time, if he was not angry, that would be a problem. That would mean he does not care. He quickly goes through losses."
On Stan Wawrinka, Luthi concluded: "Stan is a guy who never disappoints you. We are very close. If he needs advice, I will always be there for him. He is someone who laughs a lot. It does not seem he is like that because he is very focused and very respectful towards his opponents on the court."
On how they approach matches, Luthi said: "We watch many videos of the opponents he will face. Especially if we do not know them or if they quickly go up on the rankings. We do it together or alone. ATP sends us videos of all the matches that get broadcasted. So we focus on one point or the other. Once he is on the court, Roger uses his instinct, but he never forgets our discussions."
Isn't Claudia, Luthi's wife, jealous? "If you ask her what she thinks, she will definitely tell you that she would like us to spend more time together. The question will be there when we will decide to have a son."
