In the tennis world, almost every personality of the top stars is often reported on. Like most recently about the signing of Severin Lüthi in Holger Rune's team. Roger Federer's ex-coach is supposed to lead the Dane to the big titles together with Boris Becker. Another ex-coach of Roger Federer is of the opinion that some team members are often not given enough credit: the partners alongside the top stars. Like Mirka Federer, Roger Federer's wife.
Annacone demands more respect for Mirka
Paul Annacone thinks Mirka Federer doesn't get enough credit for how she supported Roger throughout his career: "He had a great team around him. Tony Godsick was fantastic. Mirka doesn't get enough credit. She's amazing. She is "Really someone who understood tennis and understands her husband so well. Not just with the tennis, but with who he became as an icon. It's incredible that she's done all of this."
From August 2010 to October 2013, Annacone trained Roger Federer. What made the most impact, however, was his work alongside Pete Sampras, with whom he worked from 1995 to 2001.
