Roger Federer retiring from tennis is a sad thought, says Sandgren
In an interview, Tennys Sandgren commented on Roger Federer's comeback to the French Open. The American said: "He’s still going, still playing fantastic but he’s 37 and you don’t know how much longer he’s going to play here. The idea of no more Roger here is a sad thought. So you want him to play and you want him to play well and I think it’s really cool because everybody loves it when he’s here - the crowds, the excitement, it’s a whole other level when he’s on the court. And, of course, you can never count him out. Never, ever…..I mean, he’s Roger."
On the women's side, Elina Svitolina is definitely one of the top favourites. On her goals, the Ukrainian said: "It's not been easy [because of injury] but I am trying to take one day at a time. I try to do all the recovery and preparation with my team and we don't rush anything. For me, I have no expectations for this slam, I will just take one match at a time and see how it goes but it's important just to focus on what you can do. I cannot say that clay is one of my favourites [surfaces] but I love to play on clay, I played on it when I was growing up when I was young. But I've been playing well on the hard courts as well so I just need time to prepare, to adjust and for me, it's important to have enough time to practice and have confidence in it."
