Alex De Minaur speaks about his admiration for Roger Federer
Alex De Minaur showed his admiration for Roger Federer. In a press conference, the Australian player said he has no doubts about who is the greatest player ever. "Roger is the GOAT," said De Minaur.
Analyzing his first-round win over in Zhuhai, he added: "I think today couldn't have gone any better. It was a very tough match against a very good friend of mine and a hell of a competitor. So I'm extremely proud of myself to come out and play such high-level tennis in my first round."
On his feelings of playing in China, he added: "I actually really like playing here. I think the fans here in China are like nowhere else. I mean, they're really loud, I don't think anywhere else I get given gifts by the fans. So I really enjoy playing here and it's always a special feeling once you come out here and you're able to perform and play at a good level and get the win in front of these fans. So I really enjoy it here."
Asked who he thinks that are the fastest players on Tour, De Minaur replied: "I'm not very good at 100 meters, so I don't know if I would be in the race, but if I had to get three more players I think Monfils has to be up there, then Nishioka, I think he's lightning, and, let's see, I would probably say either Fognini or Jordan Thompson. Yeah. Because I won't be on the team, I wouldn't make the cut."
