Roger Federer’s American prime example Ben Shelton hope is great

By

Ben Shelton is set to become the highest-ranked American on the ATP tour next week. For someone who has only played full seasons of tennis for the last couple of years, Shelton’s ranking rise is extremely impressive. But he has earned his way to near the top with a massive serve, good athleticism, and a growing knowledge of how to play points better.

Until recently, though, Shelton, like almost all Americans, had not shown he could be a danger on clay. His game should not really translate nearly as well to that surface as it might to the grass of Wimbledon. Clay slows the pace of Shelton’s best shots and takes away his greatest power. To be successful on clay, Shelton will need to adapt.

For one tournament, at least. Shelton was able to do that. He won the clay-court Houston Open recently by defeating fellow American Frances Tiafoe. Before anyone gets too excited, though, the ATP 250 event did not exactly draw the biggest and best of clay-court specialists. Most of the better European players were preparing for the Monte-Carlo Masters which Shelton did not participate in.

Ben Shelton: "Roger Federer congratulated me on my victories"

Ben Shelton could succeed where other Americans do not and Carlos Alcaraz needs to be more like Roger Federer
But gaining the confidence from winning in Houston is only going to help Shelton in the future. For the American (or any American, really, because the group has not been at all successful in high-level clay-court tournaments in nearly two decades), it simply comes down to the belief he can win on clay. According to former Wimbledon doubles champion Frederik Løchte Nielsen, Shelton should begin thinking he can improve further on his career 6-7 record on clay. He was 2-7 entering the Houston Open.

Nielsen told the Vegas Insider, “…Ben Shelton seems much more capable of it, and he delivers a full effort in every match…I absolutely believe he can make a really good run in many tournaments – including Roland Garros. I also feel that he has to work hard for it because he still needs to get used to traveling a lot. He won the tournament in Houston, where it’s still American conditions with American balls, which are much faster.”

Ben Shelton turns pro; to be managed by Federer's TEAM8

One player already capable of winning on clay and reaching No. 1 on the ATP tour is Carlos Alcaraz. But the Spaniard could get even better if he improves certain parts of his game. Possibly becoming slightly less aggressive would help, but making his serve more of a weapon would also make him a better player. According to top tennis commentator Rennae Stubbs, Alcaraz needs to be a bit more like Roger Federer in that regard.

Speaking on her excellent program, Racquet’s Rennae Stubbs Tennis Podcast, Stubbs comapred the size and ability of Alcaraz and Federer and pointed out that neither are extremely tall and that both could have the same leverage and ability to place their serve. Alcaraz simply has not developed that part of his game to come close to the Swiss great yet.

Stubbs said, “Carlos is not tall, neither was Roger Federer. Roger’s what, 6’1? He’s slightly taller than Carlos Alcaraz but very similar in height. But Roger was an amazing spot server…So when you’re talking about two guys of the same height, Roger and Carlos, Carlos’ spots are nowhere near as good…That is one area he can improve on and that’s how he’ll win more on a fast court.”

Roger Federer sparks frenzy with cryptic post hinting at tennis return

By

The 20-time Major winner walked away in September 2022

Roger Federer has dropped a hint on social media that he could perform a U-turn on his retirement and make a sensational return to tennis.

The Swiss legend retired from the game in September 2022 with 20 Grand Slams and 103 ATP Tour titles to his name, cementing his status as one of the greatest players to have graced men’s tennis.

Video thumbnail

His collection of Majors has since been surpassed by Rafael Nadal (22) and Novak Djokovic (24), but Federer’s elegant style and classy demeanour makes him a unique character in the modern game.

He is still adored by tennis fans everywhere he goes, and so when the eight-time Wimbledon champion loosely suggested he could be making a comeback, fans went into overdrive.

Federer shared a tweet containing three emojis – a “soon” signal, a Christmas tree and a pair of eyes – and many interpreted this as a sign that he could be about to end his 18-month sabbatical.

The Swiss icon has already admitted he “doesn’t want to go away” from tennis, although he is yet to formalize his future in the sport – only attending events in an ambassadorial manner.

But Federer’s message on his official X account is the biggest hint he has given that he might be about to return to competitive action.

Will Federer return to tennis?
Federer had struggled with injuries towards the end of his career and decided to hang up his racket at the age of 41 after the Laver Cup, which offered an emotional farewell after fulfilling his dream of playing alongside his friendly rivals Nadal and Djokovic.

With that in mind, it seems unlikely the former world No 1 would have recovered from his long-standing knee issues and with Federer turning 43 in August, he would be nearly twice as old as some competitors.

Other theories have suggested he could join Djokovic’s team after the Serbian split with his long-serving coach Goran Ivanisevic. But with a flurry of sport documentaries being released on Netflix and Amazon Prime, perhaps one dedicated to Federer’s career is on the horizon.

Topspin 2k25: Rare Moment as Roger Federer Gets Clicked While Donning Motion Capture Suit for His Character

By

Do you ever wonder how it might feel to be a part of the tennis scene, playing matches, and facing opponents? For fans who already have a knack for gaming, they might be aware of the experience that the tennis-based video game series TopSpin offers. Coming up with a new update for the 24-25 session, Roger Federer is set to be on the cover once again.

Hitting the gaming world after its last update in 2011, TopSpin recently announced its return as it promises to deliver an immersive experience like never before. Doubling up the excitement for players worldwide, the cover star for this year’s edition is none other than the legendary Swiss.

What sets this game apart is the attention to detail in capturing every sign of emotions and body movement. Instead of just relying on computer graphics, developers have gone the extra mile. Roger Federer himself participated in recording sessions, where he replicated his playing style, shots, and even facial expressions.

This means that the Swiss tennis maestro lifted his racket once again, not on the tennis court but in a digital recording room. This was done in order to ensure that every aspect of his game is authentically represented in the virtual world.

The video game title is set to offer a line-up of 24 playable pros, that the fans can simulate at all four Grand Slam tournaments, indulging in various game modes. As the franchise released the game just a day ago, it is available to be played on famous platforms like the PlayStation 4, 5, and Xbox series.

Coco Gauff shares excitement behind being a part of the TopSpin 2k25 roster
Besides Roger Federer’s deep involvement in making the video game highly detailed, many other players became a part of the successful launch. Coco Gauff, who recently lost to Caroline Garcia at the Miami Open, expressed her excitement over the fact that she herself will be able to simulate her character in the game.

“It’s pretty cool to be in a video game. I don’t know how I would feel playing as myself, though,” she said. Along with that, Gauff also answered the query of who she wants to play as, besides herself. “Probably as one of the Big Three!” she answered, giving out her admiration for the three tennis legends.

As the video game continues to drag the attention of tennis players, are you excited to give it a try?

Coco Gauff Makes Preferences Clear Between Idols Roger Federer and Serena Williams With Her Interesting Top Spin 2K25 Pick

By

2K gave a treat to all tennis fans when they announced the news of Top Spin 2k25 out of nowhere. Top Spin was a series of tennis games that lived largely in the hearts of its fans. Many were distraught as Top Spin 4 was the final installment in 2011. But after 13 years, it returned to us, and it features many new players, including Coco Gauff.

While the American sensation is one of the biggest selling points of the game, she has not played it herself. But she recently revealed who she would choose if she were to play the game, and she did not choose her idol.

Coco Gauff is excited “to be in a video game” although she doesn’t “play much sports games”
Gauff recently played her first-round match against Nadia Podoroska and won it in a dominant display of 6-1, 6-2. After the bout, she sat down for an interview where she talked about the much-awaited game – “Yeah, I knew I was going to be in it because actually, in Australia I did the little scan thing that you do for it. I actually never played the game. I have seen it. I don’t play much sports games, to be honest. But I will try to get it and maybe see how I play. I’ve seen a video of it, and the swings look funny. Yeah, it’s pretty cool to be in a video game. I don’t know how I would feel playing myself, though.”

When further asked who she would want to play as, she said, “Probably as one of the big three, yeah. Probably them.” At the moment, Roger Federer is the only big three player in the game. It went on to show Gauff’s preference for him over her idol, Serena Williams, who is also in the game.

Season passes are set to come sometime after the initial launch, and we could also see Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic join the roster. While Gauff is not certain about the game, another player said that it can be a great development for tennis.

Daniil Medvedev opens up on tennis once again making a stake in sports games
There have been many tennis games since Top Spin 4, but none of them managed to fill the hole that the 2K tennis game left. With the release a month away, Daniil Medvedev believes its return will be highly beneficial for tennis. He believed FIFA, now EA Sports FC, has been a dominating force in sports games, and playing Pro Evolution Soccer does not scratch the itch.

“Yes, play Pro Evolution Soccer somewhat close, but it’s always FIFA. FIFA now FC, so let’s see if in tennis, we can have uh something like this, and I think uh yeah it’s going to be good if the game is good and uh even tennis players can play.”

The return of Top Spin 2K25 is one of the most exciting events for tennis fans besides the Miami Open. Playing the game on day 1 will be a priority for many as they hope it can live up to the legend of Top Spin 4.

How Roger Federer Once Toyed Around With Boris Becker-Led Commentary at Wimbledon 2017 By Acing Service Game in Style

By

Roger Federer had one of his most dominant Grand Slam performances during the Wimbledon 2017. Without dropping even a single set throughout the tournament, Federer went on to win the title and lift the Wimbledon trophy for the eighth time in his career. The Swiss legend’s title run was exceptional, filled with numerous iconic moments. One of those moments occurred in the semifinal clash against Tomas Berdych when he kept proving the commentators wrong three times in the same game.

During one of the games in the tie against Tomas Berdych, the commentators – Andrew Castle, Boris Becker, and Tim Henman tried putting their analysis skills to the test by predicting where Roger Federer was going to serve.

Becker went up first, predicting that the #3 seeded player would serve out wide. Merely a second later, Federer hit an ace, serving down the T. Similar to Becker, Castle also predicted that Federer would be serving wide in his following serve. Yet again, the commentators were wrong. Finally, Henman’s guess made the commentators go 0-3 in their prediction, as Federer ended the game by serving down the T.

The clip of the same can be seen in the reel posted by Instagram account @federerfansforever below.

Apart from unknowingly toying around with the commentators, Federer also asserted command over Berdych. Grabbing a win in (7-6, 7-6, 6-4), the widely regarded GOAT made his place in the finals.

With the likes of #1 Andy Murray, #2 Novak Djokovic, and #4 Rafael Nadal out in the quarterfinals or before, Federer had a relatively easier encounter in the finals, facing Marin Cilic. As expected, “FedEx” completely humiliated Cilic, winning the duel 6-3, 6-1, 6-4.

Roger Federer and his wonderful life outside tennis

The Swiss, 20-time grand slam champion, opens up in an interview with GQ

Tennis great Roger Federer says he does not miss tennis after putting his racquet aside late in 2022. The Swiss legend broke record after record during his long career, but he has truly left the game behind in his retirement.

After winning 20 Grand Slams, Federer called it a day in September of 2022, and since then, he has been catching up on family life and much more.

Asked by GQ if he misses playing, he simply responded: “Not really, actually.” He reasoned with a laugh: “My back was fine yesterday.”

Federer was then quizzed. on what he felt after retiring.”I’m really relieved, if that makes any sense,” he said. “I mean, the last few years have been tough with my knee. You could feel the end coming closer. So when it’s all said and done and you’re over the line and you’re retired officially, you take a deep breath and you’re like, ‘Wow, okay, that was good.’

Roger Federer Is 'Really Relieved' He Retired from Tennis: 'I Don't Miss It'

“In the moment, it was suffering. Because I knew it was going to be hard. The moment of retirement in London, everything that led up to it. And then of course you have flashbacks a little bit later when you see highlights or people ask you, ‘How did you feel in that very moment?’ and they show you a highlight. You’re like, ‘Oh, my God, do I really have to see that again?'”

Opening up on his mindset in his life after tennis, the Swiss great added: “Good question. I feel…what do I feel? I feel minutes matter more now than before. I don’t know if it’s an age thing as well, as you get older, you feel like time’s running away from you and you still have a lot to accomplish, a lot to do.”

Federer on watching old rivals Djokovic and Nadal
Federer enjoyed many incredible battles with Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal during his career, and he must now watch on as the former, in particular, chases down many of his records.

Then again, the 42-year-old doesn’t watch all that much of the sport he mastered, or at least not live.

“I watch highlights,” he admitted. “A full match is hard for me to watch because I’m just too busy with children and running around. Maybe I watched one full, entire match last year.

“But other than that, it’s highlights and I check scores every day. I’m surprised actually. I thought I was just going to check out completely and not care so much, but I guess I still know too many players and I want to see how they do.”

Speaking about Djokovic and Nadal’s achievements, he continued: “I mean, obviously you’re aware when they’re in the finals or you’re aware when Rafa comes back or you’re aware when Novak breaks another record. It’s all good, you know? But I will not set my schedule aside, like, well, This match I have to see.

Roger Federer announces retirement from Tennis

“But obviously I’ve followed it and I love to see that, especially Novak’s been going from strength to strength. It keeps on going. And Rafa obviously, I felt sad for him that he has not been able to play nearly as much or at all to what he wanted to do.

“I hope that he can do what he wants to do in the summer, because even though I have a good feeling for him, and I know he pulled out of Indian Wells and Doha and all that stuff, but I still am very hopeful that he can get back on the train and ride it.”

Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer compared to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi by legendary coach

By

Toni Nadal has likened the iconic tennis rivalry shared by his nephew Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer, to the dynamic between football legends Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

The renowned coach claimed Nadal is comparable to Ronaldo, while Federer is like Messi, but feels there are “more differences” between the football icons than the tennis greats.

September 19, 2019, Geneva, Switzerland: RAFAEL NADAL of Team Europe chats with the media prior to the Laver Cup tennis event in Geneva Switzerland. (Credit Image: © Christopher Levy/ZUMA Wire)

Federer and Nadal, who faced off 40 times over a 15-year period from 2004 to 2019, formed one of tennis’ greatest ever rivalries. Nadal holds a 24-16 advantage, having previously held 23-10 and 6-1 leads, while Federer won six of the pair’s last seven encounters.

The Spaniard has won 22 Grand Slam singles titles, with his most recent coming at the 2022 French Open, while Federer — who retired in 2022 — won his 20th and final major at the 2018 Australian Open. The duo shared the court as a doubles team for Federer’s final match at the 2022 Laver Cup in London.

Ronaldo and Messi, who are widely regarded as two of the greatest footballers in history, were the leading stars in the sport throughout the 2010s decade. At their peaks, Ronaldo and Messi starred for Spanish giants and fierce rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively.

In an interview with Super Deportivo Radio, Toni Nadal explained why he feels the two sporting rivalries are comparable, while arguing there is a key difference.

“It is comparable with the Nadal-Federer rivalry, only that Rafa can do the same thing that Federer does, while Cristiano cannot do what Messi does,” said the Mallorcan.

“It is comparable in duration. From Messi to Cristiano there are more differences than from Rafael to Federer. Being Cristiano an excellent footballer, I think Messi has almost no comparison with anyone.

“Federer is an incredible player for me. What he has done and achieved. What I saw him do on a tennis court I have not seen anyone do. We could say that Federer has been Messi. Rafael has a different, but very high, talent. He is probably the player who has hit the best in a bad position.

“It is true that my nephew does not have the technical excellence or elegance that Federer may have, but Rafael does the same thing that Federer does, although Cristiano cannot do the same thing that Messi does.

“Cristiano is very good, but he does not have the ability to do the dribbles that he did or that Messi has done throughout his career. In the case of my nephew, in a different way, he is able to do the shots that Federer does.

“Today we live in a world where it is very difficult to tell people the reality. Frustration comes from a lack of spirit, an exaggerated search for immediacy and not facing reality, and a personal overvaluation.

“Messi lost five Ballon d’Ors with Cristiano Ronaldo. The best in history also had setbacks, but the difference is that Messi’s frustration did not prevent him from advancing in his career.”

Toni Nadal coached his nephew Rafael Nadal from his childhood until 2017, helping him win 16 of his 22 Grand Slam titles. He is the director of the Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca and has also been working with ATP player Felix Auger-Aliassime since 2021.

Novak Djokovic and Stephen Curry Exchange Heart-Felt Gesture as Roger Federer Misses Out During His Visit Last Week

By

When the NBA meets tennis, it’s like a fusion of athletic excellence! While every now and then a lot of tennis players are seen attending NBA matches, recently it was Novak Djokovic, the current world number one, who attended a Warriors match and had a sweet little moment with Stephen Curry. Two legends came together in a single frame.

However, just a few days ago, the American NBA star had an opportunity to meet Roger Federer, but this time, things were a lot different from the recent meeting with Djokovic. Let’s dive into the sweet moment Curry shared with the Serb, the ultimate star of the current tour.

Novak Djokovic gave an autographed tennis racket to Stephen Curry
The 24-time Grand Slam champion faced an early exit from the Indian Wells tournament as a young rising tennis sensation, Luca Nardi, defeated him in the second round of the tournament. However, before getting ready for the next part of the American swing, the Miami Open, the world number one-ranked tennis player recently made some time out of his busy athletic schedule to attend an NBA match.

https://x.com/NBCSWarriors/status/1769202030990774393?s=20

But that was not the major highlight. While he attended the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Golden State Warriors match, he met the Warriors’ face, other than the 36-year-old American basketball player, as they exchanged conversations and even gave each other a token of love from the respective sports.

 

Recently, the official Twitter handle of the basketball team shared a video in which the 36-year-old Serbian tennis player and Curry were seen standing on the basketball court as they got into a conversation. Not only that, in the video, Djokovic was seen giving his autograph on the tennis racket, which he gave to the NBA star.

In the same way, even the Warriors star took off his jersey then and there and signed it for the tennis star. Moreover, when Federer met Curry just a few days ago during his visit to San Francisco, the Swiss tennis legend didn’t receive the same gesture from the NBA star.

When Federer paid a visit to the NBA star, Curry
A few days ago, the 20-time Grand Slam champion paid the Golden State Warriors a unique visit, as he was seen exercising alongside head coach Steve Kerr and star player Steph Curry. In keeping with the spirit of teamwork, Federer posed for pictures at the Chase Center before demonstrating his abilities on the basketball court, where he stunningly made a perfect four out of four shots.

While there might be nothing that the 42-year-old Swiss tennis legend can’t do, he was seen having a fun workout session with Curry and his team, but he missed out on the moment that Curry shared with Djokovic. Moreover, looking into this, the recent meet-up also brought back happy memories of Federer and Curry’s 2017 Rolex Shanghai Masters rendezvous, underscoring the special connection between the NBA and tennis worlds.

Nevertheless, what are your thoughts on Djokovic and Curry’s recent meeting? Do let us know in the comment section below.

Warriors’ home to host Laver Cup in 2025
The Chase Center, currently the home of the NBA’s Golden State Warriors, is the venue used for a variety of events, not only sports, but also art and music.

Next year’s Laver Cup, the eighth edition of the event created by Roger Federer in honor of tennis great Rod Laver, will be held September 19-21.

“Chase Center will be the perfect setting to host the eighth edition of the event, in a cosmopolitan city that loves its sport but has been without a top-level men’s professional tennis event for more than 10 years,” said Tony Godsick, president of the Laver Cup.

It will be the first time that the three-day team tournament, which pits six of Europe’s top men’s players against six of their counterparts from the rest of the world, will be held on the west coast of the United States.
