Federer post Davis Cup mis-quotes in press ⇢

federeristic:

Adding insult to injury was the mis-translation of Federer’s French remarks into English after he and Olympic gold-medal partner Stanislas were beaten in doubles.

While Federer said: “I played a good doubles, and Stan not a bad one,” the remark was reported in English as Federer saying his partner played poorly.

But the Swiss said the matter has been put to rest along with any lingering memories. “It was a tough weekend for us, we were clearly not at our best at home,” said the 30-year-old, who begins Rotterdam play as top seed on Wednesday night against Frenchman Nicolas Mahut.

“It was a disappointing result. But I had a day to recover on Sunday and that helped. The Stan comment was taken completely the wrong way.

“I’d never say that, and I’ll move on quickly. I spoke with both (captain) Severin (Luthi) and Stan to make sure there is no misunderstanding.”

As soon as journalists released that quote I knew it could not be true, but so many people were so quick to judge Roger saying ‘oh no, how could he?’, ‘oh dear Roger’ and things like that. But any person who knows a single thing about Roger’s character and/or his relationship with Stan would know that that he would never say anything like that. I am so glad this has all be put to rest.
