Federer se rasplakao tokom intervjua: Nedostaje mi moj prijatelj

Švicarski teniser Roger Federe posljednjih godina niže uspjehe teniskim terenima širom planete, a u privatnom životu važi za pravog porodičnog čovjeka. Iako je već uveliko zagazio u četvrtu deceniju života, Federer se nalazi u sjajnoj formi, za šta je i sam zahvalan disciplinovanom načinom života kako na terenu tako i van njega. U intervjuu koji je nedavno dao za “CNN Sport”, Federer je govorio o brojnim događajima iz svoje karijere, a posebna tema razgovora bio je njegov odnos sa trenerom Peterom Carterom koji je tragično nastradao u saobraćajnoj nesreći 2002. godine. Federer se nije mogao iskontrolisati, te se u jednom momentu razgovora rasplakao na sam pomen bivšeg trenera i velikog prijatelja.

–Piter je bio jako bitna osoba u mom životu, on me je naučio svemu, zbog njega sam bio igrač kakav sam sada. Koliko mi samo nedostaje. Nadam se da bi bio ponosan sa sve što sam postigao- izjavio je teniser koji nije mogao sakriti suze.

Peter Carter je nastradao u saobraćajnoj nesreći 2002. godine u Južnoj Africi samo nekoliko dana prije nego je Federer osvojio svoj prvi Grand Slam trofej.

Federer turned 37 last August 8, a day before what would have been Carter's 53rd birthday. When asked what Carter would think about his record men's haul of 20 grand slams, Federer teared up. "Sorry," said Federer. "Oh, man, I still miss him so much. I hope he would be proud. "Geez, never broke down like this," he said later. Federer learned of Carter's death while competing at the Canadian Masters in Toronto and according to 'The Roger Federer Story: Quest for Perfection,' the book penned by Swiss tennis journalist Rene Stauffer, "he was never so upset in his life." Federer "left his hotel and ran through the streets, bawling and hysterical," the Australian newspaper reported. "I guess he didn't want me to be a wasted talent so I guess it was somewhat of a wake-up call for me when he passed away and I really started to train hard," Federer, temperamental prior to his grand slam winning days, continued to CNN Sport. "Peter was really a really important person in my life because I think if I can say thank you for my technique today, it's to Peter," he said.
