"If I have to buy a ticket, I buy it to watch Roger Federer" says Fabio Fognini

Fabio Fognini admires all members of the big three but he is a very dedicated Roger Federer fan and has been for a long time.

Fognini is obviously not the only one who is a keen admirer of Roger Federer as the Swiss ace is revered by many of his former and current colleagues as well as millions around the world. Speaking about the big three, Fognini noted that he has nothing against Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic but for him, it's always been, Roger Federer.

The Italian demonstrated it with an example where if he would have to choose whom to watch he would always buy a ticket to see Federer instead of Nadal and Djokovic:

"No offence to Djokovic and Nadal, but I am a Federer fan. If I have to buy a ticket, I buy it to watch Roger play."

Still Fognini praised Nadal for his Melbourne effort saying:

"He is an incredible fighter. It is difficult to find the words to describe what he has done, these are feats that only the greatest champions can accomplish. Nadal will be a top favorite to win the French Open and clinch a 22nd Grand Slam title. He is very competitive, he has shown it over the years. But here, if Rafa wants to, he will also win Paris and score 22."
