Former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash has claimed that the reigning Australian Open champion Roger Federer has no weakness whatsoever and that is the reason behind his resurgence in 2017 after he was sidelined by a knee injury in 2016.
Cash alongside former World No. 1s Jim Courier and John McEnroe explained in a video posted on YouTube why the holy trinity of Federer, 10-time French Open winner Rafael Nadal and the Serbinator Novak Djokovic have been so dominant on the men’s tour.
Cash said: “He doesn’t really have any weakness, he got such a complete game,‘ Cash recognized speaking about Federer.”
Courier on the other hand tried to put up a brave face and even suggested the tactic that could work against the Swiss legend. “The thing that he does so well than other players is that he’s got that beautiful little short slice shot backhand. It’s not a drop shot, it’s not a drive, it’s meant to put you in no-man’s land. And when you’ve got a double-handed backhand, it’s super awkward. That shot works against all the players very very well, it doesn’t work against a lefty like Rafa, but that’s a nasty shot.”
John McEnroe revealed the big rationale behind the remarkable comeback of the great Nadal. McEnroe said: “He serves much better than when he came on tour. I think that’s part of why he was able to win the (US) Open. You can serve a lot harder, but he’s worked on the place, he’s got some nice looking spin, and lefties are so damn-good looking‘, he added laughing, before explaining the right tactic to use against him.”
