Federer praises Zverev after Shanghai Masters Quarter-Final defeat: 'I told him at the net that he showed great character'

Federer said that he showed great character; as well as that he doesn't see him ever frustrated.

The Swiss legend said that it is impressive that he can come back like this after poor form and that if he can get one per cent like that, he will be happy.

“I told him at the net that he showed great character, that he was strong... I thought he didn't show any frustrations or too much negativity,” Federer said.

“I didn't see him very often being extremely frustrated except the one time when he hit three let cords in a row, the last game I think it was.

“That was impressive, because he has tendencies to get a bit down on himself. Especially this season, he hasn't been playing maybe so well, so that impressed me the most. If I can get one per cent of that, I'm happy, too.”
