What was it like to be a Federer coach?
I think it will be a kind of "happiness annoyance" for anyone, on the one hand, under the high popularity and attention of the Swiss, it is bound to bring themselves greater fame.
On the other hand, coaching a legendary star like Federer, who has already achieved fame, often faces great pressure, and it is undoubtedly quite difficult to continue to improve on the existing results.
However, in Ljubic's view, there is only happiness and glory to be able to cooperate with Federer.
'Roger is my first, second and third priority player and I've been ready for him for a year and 52 weeks and I'll always be there for as long as he wants to play.
The Croatian love for Federer is self-evident.
Of course, the cooperation between the two of them was not optimistic at the beginning, and fans even thought that Lyubic, who was only three years older federer and could not say "how successful" in his career, would be difficult to bring new promotions to the former.
Federer's coach at the time was former world number one and six-time Grand Slam champion Stephen Edberg, and the two have been working together since the 2014 Australian Open.
In the case of not being optimistic about the outside world, Lyubic rose to the challenge, focusing on improving Federer's offensiveness in the backhand, making it change from its original weakness to a scoring weapon.
In addition to the 2016 season, which was reimbursed early due to injury, Federer showed unstoppable momentum in 2017, winning multiple major championships such as Indian Wells, Miami, Australian Open, Wimbledon and other major championships, and winning 54 times in all 59 games.
With excellent results escorted, the outside world's doubts about Lyubic have gradually disappeared, and in early 2018, Federer successfully defended his title, which is also his last Grand Slam title to date.
So far this season, Federer has only played the Australian Open, and he reached the final four to eventually lose to Djokovic, after which he underwent several knee surgeries and announced the season reimbursement.
For next year's plans, Federer has previously revealed that his goals are Wimbledon and the Olympics, and there is no doubt that the Swiss will continue to work towards the next Grand Slam title.
And Lyubic said in a recent interview that coaching Federer will be his last coaching job, and once he retires, he will not be a coach again.
"After Roger retires, I will focus on my project. But now, I'm fully committed to him, we're recovering methodically, and everything is going well. ”
To this end, many netizens have expressed the hope that Lyubic can work for a few more years, and also pray that Federer can delay his retirement time as much as possible.
After all, after the Swiss retired, the youth of many fans is really over. (Source: House of Tennis Author: Barbie)
