Andre Agassi inspires Roger Federer
Sixteen Grand Slam titles winner Roger Federer has admitted that he takes inspiration from former tennis great Andre Agassi.

World No. 3 Roger Federer looked in fabulous touch at the 2012 French Open, before he was blown away in the semi-final by Novak Djokovic. The sixteen times Grand Slam champion has not been able to win a Grand Slam title for more than two years now, but he is still a force to be reckoned with on the tour.

Recently in a press interview, Federer admitted that he has been taking inspiration from Andre Agassi and would like to play on till 2016 Olympics.

The Swiss legend believes that he can maintain his fitness level to that extent so that he could play up to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio Di Janeiro. Shunning all the reports related to his retirement, the Swiss asserted that he has no plans to retire in the near future.

Federer will play at the 2012 Olympics in London. And, he believes that he can play on for many years just like legendary Andre Agassi, who won the Australian Open in 2003 at the age of 32.

Federer asserted, "But why should London be the end? Why shouldn't I be able to look forward to Rio? He further added that “I would be 35-years-old. And at that age other players have had amazing performances. Look at Andre Agassi. He set a new standard."
