LONDON (Reuters) - Tennis great Roger Federer said Switzerland’s shock Euro 2020 victory over world champions France on Monday showed that the tournament underdogs can move mountains.
Speaking at Wimbledon, where he edged through his opening match on Tuesday, the Basel native said Switzerland should now take it to the next level against Spain on Friday.
“It was a great football day yesterday overall just in terms of quality of matches,” Federer said of Switzerland’s penalty shootout win after the last-16 game ended 3-3.
“I just thought they fought super well. With the situation of being up 1-0, missing the penalty, then everything changing within half an hour. It would have been so easy just to let go.
