Roger Federer confesses to admiring David Nalbandian’s game

PanARMENIAN.Net - The winner of 16 grand slams and the owner of countless records, Roger Federer confessed to admiring David Nalbandian’s game.

“I always admire Nalbandian's game, just his accuracy on the shots. That he was able to put it wherever he wanted. On any given day he could really beat you easily, [on] any surface. I think he's one of the only [few] players to make semis at all the four Grand Slams and then obviously we had that mega match in Shanghai, when he beat me 7-6 in the fifth,” Federer told Argentinean media.

“And we went through juniors, I lost to him at the US Open juniors, I beat him then in the semis at the Orange Bowl, getting to world number one. So I have a soft spot for Nalbandian's game, just because I've seen so much of it, and time and time again he impressed me,” Nalbandian’s official fan blog quoted Federer as saying.
