What I love about Messi probably most is when he gets the ball and is able to turn the body towards a goal, and then he has full vision. Then he’s going to pass, or dribble, or shoot. There are always three options for him. He’s one of the few who’s got that.”

Federer also spoke about his eating regime: "I’ll have a coffee before every match, and if there is a chocolate on the side, I’ll have a chocolate. Or a cookie.”

Federer concluded: "The problem when you’re younger is knowing to use what when. That is quite — how do you say? — complex. Whereas if you’re a player who’s just very good at doing forehands and backhands across court all day, it’s easier. I’ve got a lot of different options. For us, it’s more challenging. I think once you master the craft of knowing, ‘Which club shall I take out of the bag for this shot or pass?’, it’s incredibly exciting. Maybe this is why my love for the game is so big nowadays.
