    "editor1": "All England Club: Two-time Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra praised tennis legend Roger Federer, calling him a true champion not just for his brilliance on the court but also for being a kind person.\n<p>Chopra, who was present at the Centre Court of All England Club to witness the men's singles final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, recalled the era of Federer who holds the record for most grass-court Grand Slams with eight titles including five successive Championships from 2003 to 2007.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"I\u2019m feeling very good. This is my first tennis tournament - and that too, Wimbledon - so I\u2019m really enjoying it. I remember when Federer used to win, he would wear that grass coat, and we knew a little bit about the tradition - that the whole dress code is white. I used to feel very good watching that,\" the javelin star told Star Sports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"I think Roger Federer is very inspiring - both in the way he plays and as a human being. I met him in Zurich last year, spent quite some time with him, and had a good conversation. It felt really nice. The way he used to play was also amazing,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chopra also remembered Spanish stalwart Rafael Nadal, who won 22 Grand Slams including two Wimbledon titles, for his never-give-up attitude.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"I\u2019d also like to mention one more player - Nadal. He used to play really well too. His willpower and never-give-up attitude were something I really admired,\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chopra also remembered Spanish stalwart Rafael Nadal, who won 22 Grand Slams including two Wimbledon titles, for his never-give-up attitude.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">LIVE Cricket Score<\/a><\/h5><p>In the men's singles final, Sinner overcame Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in a spectacle to lift his maiden Wimbledon Grand Slam.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/h5>",
