Roger Federer knows health isn't guaranteed forever, says Andy Roddick
In an interview the former world No. 1 Andy Roddick spoke about Roger Federer's Wimbledon five-set loss to Novak Djokovic earlier this year. The American admitted it was a big opportunity for the Basel native. "I think for him the heartbreak probably comes in (knowing) health isn't guaranteed for him forever. Every year that passes, you're one year closer to the finish. I'm sure he wanted to put some distance between him, Rafa (Nadal), and Novak. I mean, these guys are playing for more than an individual title right now", said Roddick, who also opened up on the Big Three dominance: "They're kind of marching through (the) history books, so I'm sure (Federer) would've loved that buffer there at Wimbledon. Every match that these guys are playing against each other has so much significance as far as the history of our game."
The former world No. 1 Jim Courier spoke about Bianca Andreescu: "There's a lot more responsibilities for someone like Bianca now. She'll have a lot more commercial obligations, which are opportunities. The trick is to find the balance so you continue to improve as a player, get the rest that you need to be at your peak when you need to be, and you're able to manage all of those expectations and obligations and put them in the right place."
