Roger Federer reveals what he did after winning in Basel
Roger Federer spoke about what he did after winning the Swiss Indoors title in Basel for the tenth time. The Swiss withdrew from Paris Masters. "I recovered, I trained the way I needed in order not to drop down completely. It's nice, of course, if you had a break, then everything is easier in your everyday life. You are willing to play because you did not compete the previous week. That's what I exaclrt want to feel before the ATP Finals. I do have an nice feeling, but the match against Dominic Thiem will not be like a normal first round like in Basel or in a Grand Slam. I find the surface good and I do not have issues with my body. I am totally motivated and hungry and I hope I can have a good tournament."
Asked how it will feel like to face Novak Djokovic in the groups stage at the ATP Finals, Federer said: "It already happened and it's not a news. It's a groups stage so you may lose and still play. Especially for the new guys, question marks may come up during matches. Can I lose now or it doesn't matter? Hopefully I win every match, play well and give everything. If it's enough, it's enough otherwise I know I lost to a top player. I am happy to be here because every year this is one of the goals for me and my team."
Federer will try to keep his No. 3 rankings position and not be passed by the Russian Daniil Medvedev who had a stellar year so far.
