Sergi Bruguera gave a long interview to our colleagues from Puntodebreak, He looks back on his career and gives us a rather funny anecdote about Roger Federer whom he had beaten 6–1, 6–1 at the time.
“We made a lot of jokes about it, I even have an anecdote that comes back to me on this subject. I was working with Richard Gasquet at the time and of course he knew I had beaten him 6–1, 6–1. One day we run into Federer and Richie says, ‘Roger, this is someone who beat you in his day’. And there Roger replies, ‘Yeah, yeah, I remember, I thought I was going to beat him easily that day because he was coming back from an injury, but he dominated me 6–2, 6– 1 ‘. I was surprised by his answer because everyone knows that Roger has a very good memory. So I corrected things: ‘No, Roger, it was 6–1 and 6–1.’ “
