Roger Federer shares insights on talks with Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal
Roger Federer commented on how it was like to have a meeting among Player Council members including Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic last week prior to the US Open.
The Swiss said: "I think it’s always good to talk. How can we help each other? How can we help the tour? How can we help the sport grow? I think it is important to talk. The worst is in any politics or any tennis politics is if you just don’t talk. I think from that standpoint that’s a great thing. And I hope something comes out of it. If I can be of any help, I’ll be happy to do that. Being back on the council is good because I get all the information. I think that is important for me to give a proper opinion. It also brings Novak, Rafa, and me closer together, naturally, to be in a room. But then also away from it, we can’t prepare for meetings like amateurs and just not talk to each other and then walk up to the meetings and just, like, So what’s going on? And start taking decisions and voting and then it gets personal.
So we need to be well prepared, and for that we need to meet and talk, and we will do that moving forward. But I thought the first meeting was pretty good. It was okay."
