“You Think He is Not Sweating”: Virgil van Dijk Reveals How Roger Federer’s Tactics Helps Him to Deceive His Opponents

20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer is not just an idol for just the young tennis stars but also for other athletes. From cricketers to footballers, almost every sportsperson takes inspiration from the Swiss Maestro. It is his style of thinking that admires a few while some others take motivation from his cool and composed nature.

In a recent interview, legendary Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk hailed Roger Federer. He revealed how the Swiss Maestro’s tactics often helps him to deceive his opponents on the football field.

“When you see him (Roger Federer) play, you think he is not sweating. That is mentally difficult for his opponent. He thinks he is good, but not even trying. My opponent must also think that it is easy for me, although I never think so myself,” said van Dijk in the interview. (Translated by Google Translate)

The Dutch football player mentioned that Roger never appears as if he is sweating even when he is facing a difficult situation. He stated that it becomes so easy for any opponent when he gets to know that the player is under some pressure but Roger never looks under pressure. He highlighted that he also likes to follow such tactics of Federer.

Virgil suffered from an unfortunate injury at the beginning of the 2020-21 football season. It seems that he hasn’t recovered from the injury yet and will miss the Euro Cup 2021 as well.

Roger Federer will play at the French Open 2021

Recently, Roger Federer announced that he would play at the French Open 2021. He’ll be playing a Grand Slam after almost 17 months as he last played at the Australian Open 2020. Even before that, the Swiss Maestro will soon play at the ATP 250 Geneva Open 2021.

Federer last won Roland Garros title way back in 2009. He last won a Grand Slam at the Wimbledon Championships in 2017. He is 39 right now and in such a situation, it’ll be hard for him to make a comeback on the court.

However, his fans still have huge expectations from him. They are confident that Federer will succeed in Paris this year. Will Roger be able to beat the odds and conquer the French Open 2021 title?
