Federer speaks about changes in tennis: "Overall we are still in the same place"

38-years-old Swiss Roger Federer is one of the oldest players on the ATP Tour as he turned pro more than 20 years ago as he spoke about changes in tennis.

20 Grand Slam titles, 6 ATP Finals titles, Gold Olympic Medal and much more. Roger Federer achieved many things in his career which already lasts for more than 20 years. In the interview, he speaks about changes in tennis. Except for the fact that everything got faster, he does not see much changes in tennis.

"Overall we are still in the same place. The rules, the warm-up now lasts for four minutes instead of five. That's not a big deal. No problem, you know. And you have other little rule changes of course, in doubles, we have the super tie-break which before did not exist. Before you could go to the bathroom whenever you wanted to, you could call the coach when you wanted to."

"Now it turned stricter, you could always sit at the changeover after the first game, now it doesn't happen anymore. The game has gotten faster. You always try to keep the competition healthy and the integrity of the game."

Alexander Zverev is one of the younger players on the tour. 22-years-old German was already number 3 in the ATP Ranking in his short career and Federer speaks about his conversation with Sascha.

"I was speaking with Sascha (Zverev) the other day and he was asking me, What is different now, or what is better now than ten years ago? Now there is less time, everyone serves very strong, everyone is so fast, have big serves, good forehand and backhand. There were quite a few changes but in a good way."
