2009 Wimbledon Vijay Amritraj's interview with Roger Federer

A really nice interview between Indian tennis legend Vijay Amritraj and Roger Federer taken during 2009 Wimbledon for Star Sports. In the interview, Roger Federer talked about the feeling of winning the French Open, about how nervious he was before the Monfils match, about playing "opponents who have nothing to lose", and more.

What a grace. Even at that time he named other players who r on top now

Great interview. Love Vijay's work as a commentator with Alan Wilkins. I look forward to their coverage of Wimbledon as much as the tournament itself. Very different experience when I watch other commentators covering the same match.

Roger he's fluent in quite a few languages; deserves popularity.

I thoroughly agree with all the folk who have praised this interview. I must confess that I don't recall ever seeing an interview conducted by Vijay before, but after this, I would love to see more. He is such a an intelligent and articulate man and he makes the whole atmosphere around the interview so relaxed. And Roger - not only the greatest player of all time (fact, not opinion), but also, one who off court is great to see and listen to. I've listened to lots of Federer interviews over the years, and have come to the conclusion that he has earned the title that was once held by the late great Arthur Ashe - 'The Thinking Man's Tennis Player'.

Actually Roger Federer is now an 8 time Wimbledon Champion, winning that year in 2009, 2012 and 2017. He also added a further 4 Grand Slam Titles overall taking his total Grand Slam achievements to the magical 20.

R F Huge Federer Fan here, supporting him since he visited India to meet the children affected by 2006 Tsunami to bring a little joy in their lives. As a person Federer is Far better than you. You got triggered and went straight to bash India and Indians. You could have countered him by so many facts and statistics available in favour of Federer being the all time great. And as far as the knowledge of english is concerned, it's just a language not a measure of Intelligence.
