Federer o novom reketu nakon meča sa Monfilsom. Meni je najzanimljiviji dio koji se odnosi na forehand..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Now that you've been playing with this racquet for like eight months, do you have a sense of how it's helped refine or, you know, improve your game? Also, is there any area where you feel like you're still trying to find your path with it?
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, I mean, it sure takes some time, you know, there's no doubt about that.
I definitely think I'm serving higher first-serve percentage and I'm finding easier power. From that standpoint I think that's a big help, to be honest.
With the slice, in the beginning I did feel the older racquet did feel better on the slice, so I worked on that, as well. But now I feel like I have control on it. I feel like I'm hitting slices on it, so I feel like that's improved.
The backhand I think overall has been better just every day. You know, I feel like I have easier control on the backhand.
On the topspin also finding easier angle. But then again, you don't want to overdo it now just because the racquet does help you and you start playing the wrong way and now you want to go backhand to backhand on every point. That would be a mistake for me to do as well for me all the time.
And then on the forehand, I think the flat one I think I was doing a bit better with the old one. I think that one still requires a little bit of practice, but that's why I think I was so particularly happy with today's match.
I did hit a lot of flat forehands and also key forehands on crucial moments, which gave me the win at the end and I kept moving forward. So that's why I really do believe every week, every month that goes by I'll get even more comfortable with the racquet.
Q. Do you think it would be difficult for you to go back to that racquet now after this eight-month period?
ROGER FEDERER: Not really. It would be a change again. It would feel different. I played so long with it and so well with it that deep down it probably feels maybe most comfortable, because I played those thousand matches with it.
