Grand Slam titles recorder Roger Federer told a press conference in Melbourne how he calmed the young Alexander Zverev, who again dropped out early in a Chelsea tournament. The 21-year-old German was defeated in a five-point clash with his peers, Hion Chun, losing the final via 24footballtips with 0:6.




He`s still very young and still breaks into the world tour, so to speak. He`s still looking for his breakthrough on the Grand Slam. Sometimes it`s important to take a few steps back and see the good things you`ve created, while setting smaller goals. For example, qualify for a quarterfinals or semifinals first, not to come to the US Open with the thought of the title. I know what people are saying, but it`s not easy for players if they`ve never done it before. I remember having a problem with the quarterfinals and I did it only in 2003 when I was 22. By then, either I got there or lost in the first round.




So I told Sasha to be calm and patient, not to be put under such stress. To learn from his mistakes, whatever it was. He trained hard, had good training, no need to get nervous at the moment, there was enough pressure from the media.

I told him some good words to calm him down, to try to reduce his pain for a few hours. It has to hurt, it was broken, but I told him it was not that bad, Federer commented.
