21 March 2014 4:34 AM IST
Federer, who took a seven-week break last year, re-injured his back and found himself questioning everything after Wimbledon, leading to an uneven year for the 17-time major winner who once ruled this sport.
According to Sport24, Federer said although he was doubtful of playing tennis a few months ago, he was patient and thus regained his fire and balance, shutting up his critics who claimed that his game had fallen. Despite being denied a record fifth title at Indian Wells, Federer moved up three spots to No 5 in Monday’s rankings, which is the closest he has been to the top four since last June, when he was third. Federer further said instead of being disappointed about his loss to the Serb, he is happy he is playing consistent tennis, going deep in tournaments and giving himself chances to win.
