Four-time champion Roger Federer talks about his incredible performance during his fourth round win over Rafael Nadal at the 2017 BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.
If he goes on playing with this confidence and accuracy, we can expect a lot more surprises in this season only! He has converted his liability of Backhand into his biggest weapon right now.
It isn't so much just the racket as it is his mindset. He's playing freely and swinging through the backhand; he's moving expertly to step in and take time away from his opponents. He may have gotten over a few extra humps where he fell just short in finals or semis, but the biggest change would have always been seen against Rafa, where styles dictate the dynamic.
He is so knowledgable, experienced, intelligent that when good questions arise like it's mainly the case in this press we would want to listen to him for hours. Plus, he's really well-spoken, of course cannot hurt! either
