“We Have Lots of Goats”: Roger Federer Responds to Being Labeled as ‘GOAT’

Tennis superstar Roger Federer has done wonders in the sport of tennis. He has been an ambassador for the game unlike any before, and his results and achievements over the years have only made it better. Many of the youngsters on Tour have been and continue to be inspired by the 39-year-old.

Recently, the Swiss ace engaged in a question-and-answer session with fans on Twitter. One statement in the session read, “Switzerland has cows and the GOAT”. Humble as always, the Swiss maestro responded saying, “There are many goats.” 

There is only one Roger Federer

Over the years, Federer has been termed as ‘GOAT’ by his fans; it stands for ‘Greatest of All Time”. His charismatic personality blended with the success he’s had over the years makes him a unique athlete, and not just in tennis.

The manner in which he conducts himself on and off the court is second to none. Therefore, when that statement was made to the Swiss ace, one could sense his humor in the response.

Moving on to tennis, Roger made a return to the sport after being on the sidelines for 14 months. After his semifinal exit to Novak Djokovic in the semifinal of the Australian Open last season, he was out of action due to a knee injury. He had to undergo two surgeries in order to recover.

The 20-time Grand Slam winner came back at the ATP 250 event in Doha. Although his journey didn’t last long, he was content with his performance after a lengthy break. Since then, he has been practicing intensely in order to get back to his usual level.

Not long ago, he revealed that he would be competing at the ATP 250 event in Geneva. He intends to compete at Roland Garros this season and to play a tournament prior to the second Grand Slam of the season would be ideal for him.
