FEDERER “No time to think defeats” Rome preparations

Bouncing back from a early round loss for Roger Federer is crucial and Feddy is definitely in attack mode physically with practice and mentally with the media.  Here are some exclusive pictures from our twitter friend @JCasaresB

 

FEDERER: “There is no time to think about defeats, it’s necessary to train and get prepared. Last year the situation was completely different: all was going for the right sense and there were almost no critics. The change was fast and sudden, all have a great will to stay on the ATP throne. Now, it’s fundamental to keep high the concentration here in Rome, I have to win some important matches and above all I have to find the right confidence with the surface. Basically I try to keep a playing style homogeneous no matter what is the surface, anyway I’ll produce some little change for the occasion.”

Federer also congratulated his countryman Wawrinka on his performance in Madrid.

The Swiss player came back from 2-4 and 15-40 down against Tomas Berdych to take the third set and earn himself a place in the final of the Mutua Madrid Open in which he will measure up against Rafael Nadal.  Wawrinka, who will return to the world’s top 10 next week for the first time in five years, goes into Sunday’s final on a nine-match winning streak, having won his seventh ATP title last week at the Portugal Open.  The Lausanne native will contest his second Masters final, after finishing runner-up to Novak Djokovic in the 2008 Rome Masters.
