Hurkacz the last to beat Roger Federer: “I hope you’ll forgive me”

The twenty-time Grand Slam champion will say goodbye to tennis played with a double in the Laver Cup, presumably with Nadal, only to leave space in the ‘Team Europe’ for Matteo Berrettini this weekend.

Federer: the last career defeat against Hurkacz

It wasn’t easy for Federer, who told how his last set on the lawns was basically a nightmare, but not for the Pole either.

That in the course of an interview he tried to tell the other side of the coin with a certain shyness. Hurkacz explained during the interview: “Being the last one to beat Federer is a fault that I hope you will forgive me.

Seriously, playing against him at Wimbledon, with the stands of the Center Court filled, was incredible. I still get chills, however I hope that in my career I will not be remembered just for this.” It is also funny to think that Federer had never suffered a ‘bagel’ in his incredible history at the Championships: “In the end, the score does not count, I remember the second set as very tense.

Then the third ended like this. Obviously we all know that Federer will be remembered for his exploits, not because he took 6-0 from me.” The Pole told with shyness and kindness, who explained what Federer represented.

1. He explained: “Becoming like him is everyone’s dream. But there will be no other Roger Federers. He was my idol when I started as a child, but imitating him is impossible.”
