Roger Federer loves his life, can play for two more years - Tommy Haas
In an interview to Watson, the former world no. 2 Tommy Haas was asked if he believes that Rafael Nadal is playing better than ever on grass. The Spaniard reached the Wimbledon semi-finals without dropping off any set before losing to Roger Federer. Haas said: "I do not think so. If you look at the great 2008 final, you will see that he was already competing at a very high level. And among the Big Three, you always have to judge their level after their meetings. Could you imagine seeing Roger Federer evolve at that level at almost 38 years of age? 15 or ten years ago, never.
But some years went on since I changed my opinion on this topic. On one side because Roger has such a balanced game and he loves this life. I am fascinated by seeing how much he likes travelling and developing himself in this environment. In those conditions, he can play for two more years. You also need to be lucky. Because our bodies are never the same. But Roger understood since the beginning the importance of breaks and a balanced schedule. He and his team are going well. If my body allowed me to, I would have won at least a Grand Slam. It was my dream, like for many of us. I did not manage to achieve it. I struggled to be at the highest level again after nine surgeries."
