It is rare that Roger Federer does not express his thoughts in detail on every question in press conferences - even if he has heard and answered most of the questions in different languages hundreds of times. Basically, the maestro never leaves a “no comment”, such as last year's ATP final in London, when Julien Bennetaeau remarked that Federer had been given preferential treatment at the US Open.
Federer thought about it briefly at the time - and then presented his point of view in detail and conclusively. Like now in Miami after his hard-won success against Radu Albot at the second ATP Masters 1000 tournament of the year.
In court with the ex-manager
Regarding the topic of Alexander Zverev and the rumors that the German number one could soon be marketed by Team8, Federer's agency and its manager Tony Godsick, the reporter of the German tennisMAGAZIN was reportedly asked a question. Especially since Zverev only meets with his ex-manager Patricio Apey in court.
According to the minutes, the Swiss responded as follows: “No, I will not comment on that. I know you're not talking about the tennis court, but I'm talking about it. I am a player and a client. I know you think I'm a lot more at Team8, but I'm focused on playing tennis. I hope that things will settle down for him and his psyche. But I can't comment on anything. "
