Federer: "I would love to sit down and discuss the good old days with Djokovic and Nadal"
Asked about the depth of his relationship with Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, the Swiss offered the following analysis:
"Rivalries like that create a huge bond. Today, I see it differently, with much more perspective than before. Novak still doesn't understand. Rafa is gradually assimilating it. When you're still playing, you can't think about it the way I do now."
Finally, with age and perspective, the legend with 20 Grand Slam titles realizes how much certain quarrels or tensions have lost all importance today.
"The funniest thing is that someone could have taken something completely to heart, but which you don't even remember anymore. In any case, I would love to sit down and talk about the good old days with them."
