Berdych had the second interview and I like how the reporters condense the parts of Fed's interview that were potentially insulting and bounce them off Berdych in hopes of instigating an an entertaining back and forth. Next the reporters should do a follow-up with Fed and ask for his response to Berdych's claims that he is the superior player.
The Fed is one of the most gracious losers this sport…. no any sport… has ever known. He also gives great interviews. In this post, I break down the Fed’s interview after his 4-set loss to Tomas Berdych.
Notice how he wears his hat low to hide the waterworks.
4:37 “No, he didn’t play like that, you saw a different match.” Actually, I’m pretty sure that was you out there I saw getting worked! Poor reporter, a zinger from a weepy eyed paper champ might just ruin his day. He didn’t know to direct all string technology questions to John McEnroe because he mentions “these new-age strings” in every broadcast. While he’s at it, he should also ask Mac about legs because Berdych has tree trunks and Mac probably noticed.
7:45 It must be annoying to be asked about Murray’s chances of winning it all right after losing so this question deserves a snarky response like the one Fed gave. To top it off, he told the reporter to “make [her] homework” because she probably has no idea what she’s talking about.
5:43 Okay, so at RG, the conditions were tough and Soderling played well. “Today was a different story,” we can attribute today’s loss to aches and pains that resulted in general discomfort and poor play at crucial moments of the match preventing the Fed from capitalizing on certain opportunities.
3:10 His right leg and back have been hurting since the final he lost to Hewitt at Halle. I hope he gets back to playing tennis “freely,” “the way [he] wants.”
7:20 If Virtua Tennis is realistic, that two-week vacation should cost $1000 and fully regenerate his energy. Staying at home is free but not as rejuvenating.
