Roger Federer can win Wimbledon but it's getting tougher, says Mouratoglou
In an interview with Expansion, Serena Williams' coach Patrick Mouratoglou spoke about Stefanos Tsitsipas's potential. "This year Tsitsipas beat Federer in the Australian Open quarter-finals and lost to Nadal in the semis. He already defeated the Big Three, then in 2018, he defeated Stan Wawrinka in the United States and on hard court before the US Open. He has a great game and is fully motivated. Now you have to beat at least two out of the Big Three in order to win a Major. In Melbourne, if Stefanos beat Nadal, he would have faced Djokovic in the final," said Mouratoglou.
On the Serb, the Frenchman added: "He is the youngest out of the three and his body is pretty fresh. He can play four or five more years and win some more Majors. It depends on his motivation. If he loses it, Nadal is there. He can equal Federer at next year's French Open. The Swiss will have chances to win Wimbledon although it's getting tougher."
The 1976 French Open winner Adriano Panatta spoke about the new Davis Cup format: "The Spaniards won, that's ok, good. They would have probably won the Davis Cup with the previous format too. But I did not like the event, there were just a few people on the grounds, best of three sets, the doubles just after the singles. I watched it and it looked like the Tirana Challenger. Is it the new Davis Cup? It has no sense. Gerard Pique should think about soccer. We were going to Argentina, India, Australia back in the day, while now it's just about business and appearance fees."
