same season on three occasions.
“You don’t want to see something happen like it happened to Novak at the
end of the year,” Federer said. “But in the end, we’re all just human,
and it does happen that we can’t win everything, and you know how it is at
the top. The margins are so small, but still Novak is by far the player of
the season.”
That does not mean Federer has given up on being the player of next season.
Currently No. 3, he would relish a return to No. 1, which would help him
take care of some unfinished business in that he is remains just one week
short of tying Pete Sampras’s men’s record of 286 weeks atop the rankings.
“Exactly,” Federer said with a laugh. “Well, that’s a long way to go,
but who knows? One day maybe I’ll get there. We’ll see. I had to just kind
of ignore it at the moment because I know that Novak with his unbelievable
year has kind of put that very far from me, but then again, all of the
sudden you play well and you win 17 matches in a row and you’re back where
you at least feel if you win a Slam or something, you’re right in the
conversation again, so that’s interesting and that excites me.”
For now, however, it’s back to the beach. |
