Roger Federer was a bit crazy, then something changed - Former fitness trainer
Paul Dorochenko was able to get to know Roger Federer in depth as he coached the Swiss for fitness training when the Basel native was in the beginning of his career. Dorochenko said: "He was a very complicated young guy, a bit crazy. He was a good person but a really controversial one: he broke rackets, behaved bad. Federer changed because of three reasons: having had a physiologist from 18 to 22 years, having a woman who was an ambitious person and thank to Nike who wanted him to be a brand image. Money from Nike helped him to behave better. And in private life he is a good person too."
Federer spoke about the future of the Laver Cup: "I think it will be like on Tour: at some point when Rafa, me and Novak will not be there, there will be a transiction going on. Even for the Laver Cup without a doubt. But is it bad? Nope. It's just that we will have to start supporting other players, maybe watching tennis in a slightly different way. But I am not too afraid for the future of the Laver Cup because the format is not about one single player."
The Moselle Open tournament director Julien Boutter instead criticized the Laver Cup: "That Roger and Rafa are on the Council, it's not so good. We know the trend and the Swiss showed of being able to cancel certain rules. For Rafa, I do not know, I know him less".
Federer is having holidays until December 11, when his fitness training with his longtime fitness coach Pierre Paganini will start.
