It's difficult to say Roger Federer is the greatest player ever, says Yzaga
In an interview Jaime Yzaga spoke about the best three players of all time. He said: "For me Jimmy Connors was a player who looked like the best ones. Roger Federer is another guy who is there. The third, I cannot still pick it. There were many good ones back in the day. Rafael Nadal, Pete Sampras, Ivan Lendl, John McEnroe... and then I can give you 20 more names."
Asked if Federer is the best player of all time, Yzaga replied: "It's very difficult to say. Roger is an amazing player, does unbelievable things and he is still around. Seeing him play for the tennis fans and for the people who do not love the sport too much is a big thing. Because in every match his shots are different. But from her to say that he is the best ever, I do not know. It's very difficult to compare. Because there are also other players like Pete Sampras, Jimmy Connors, who were big back in the day."
On why there are no successful players in Peru, Yzaga concluded: "Tennis is not played so much in Peru. And that's a reality. There are not too many courts, there are not public courts so that kids want to play. If it keeps like this, tennis will never leave the place where it is. There is no access to the public. There are small resources and little space. I did not have time to really help, it was complicated. And doing it is very difficult. Because tennis clubs are only attended by members."
