Former French Open champion says Federer is a ‘prince’ for tennis

1976 French Open winner Adriano Panatta says tennis has changed a lot during the last years and it has become more about a battle rather than ‘dance’. Panatta believes Roger Federer is the only man, who reminds him of the past years. "Tennis was like a dance back in the day. Now it's a battle. With the exception of (Roger) Federer, who is a prince.” Panatta said. When asked about who has ruined the old traditions of tennis and made it become a battle, he added: "Bjorn Borg. He is my friend but I always tell him he won a lot but ruined everything. He started playing in a different way and all the schools followed him. Then with the modern rackets, it became a trend."
