"I am worried he doesn't feel 100 per cent" says Alex Corretja about Roger Federer

Eurosport analyst Alex Corretja believes Roger Federer's body language in Halle a worrying sign ahead of Wimbledon.

Roger Federer did not have the greatest of runs in Halle losing in the 2nd round to Felix Auger-Aliassime. Federer did not look like himself in that match especially in the 3rd set which he played awfully. Eurosport analyst Alex Corretja said:

“He was, I think, inside himself. He’s the only one who knows how he’s feeling, the way he’s moving. Sometimes it’s not about complaining. It’s a matter of you are playing and inside you, you feel ‘this is not how I want to feel’. And I think Roger feels a little bit that way right now."

Asked about his chances at Wimbledon Corretja was not sure if he believes him capable of winning it as in his mind he is still getting playing himself into a shape. He said:

“I’m just worried he doesn’t feel 100 per cent on his knee because it’s normal that his movements are still not the best. Probably he needs some more time. Is it going to be enough to be perfect for Wimbledon? Well, he needs a very, very good first week to get the rhythm that he needs to become good the second week and to perform well."

Corretja ultimately concluded by saying:

“I think if he gets the rhythm that he needs, he’s going to be very dangerous but there are many players that right now can hurt him, when before it was maybe only two or three.”
