#3 Mental battles overcome
At 35 going on 36, Federer’s body will not be as quick to recovery as it once was – and that is understandable. But perhaps the great’s battle was not just physical, but mental; he is considered one of the calmest players on court, thought it’s no secret that Roger Federer is an emotional man.
19 years of tennis can take its toll on you emotionally, and if you play at the levels Roger Federer does, that is a given.
Federer’s 6-month hiatus from the sport is likely then to have benefitted him mentally just as much as it has physically. The time spent recuperating from old, recurrent meniscus injuries was also spent in the company of his family, whom Federer is known to be very close to.
That time would have given him some much needed clarity and focus – especially with the constant presence of his biggest support system, wife Mirka.
