Roger Federer's goal is to play 2020 Tokyo Olympics - Former player
In an interview to Sky Sport the former French Open quarter-finalist Raffaella Reggi commented on Roger Federer's chances to win a Grand Slam title again. The Swiss triumphed three times in Majors from January 2017 to January 2018. But he is 37 years old and a half and his chances are getting lower. "The only chance could be Wimbledon if everything goes well. Very, very difficult. He is getting older but he surprised us so many times. That would be the icing on the cake and I would think you could stop playing tennis even if the goal is still the 2020 Tokyo Olympics", said Reggi.
The former world No. 25 Filippo Volandri added: "There are so many young guys who are breaking through. If he can win a Major, it's Wimbledon. He needs to be fresh and not play too many long matches."
Volandri also commented on Lorenzo Musetti's breakthrough. The 17-year-old won his maiden Grand Slam junior title at this year's Australian Open defeating Emilio Nava in an epic three-set final. "I am working with him and his coach Stefano Tarantino. Lorenzo decided to become a professional player and he trains from the morning to the evening at our National tennis centre in Tirrenia. He is very talented but sometimes he plays too far from the baseline so we are trying to make him convince to make a step forward. He is playing on the professional tour, he will barely compete in junior tournaments from now onwards. I think he can have a great future."
