At the top doesn’t mean No. 1 in the world - Federer.

Roger Federer - Rafael Nadal

Roger Federer admitted that it is impossible to stay at the top of the world for long time, but said he needs to find what works best for him to get the world number one spot back again.

“At the top doesn’t mean No. 1 in the world. It can mean deep into Grand Slams, being in the top five, top 10 for, whatever, 10 years, 15 years, just be up there and having a shot at Grand Slams,” said Federer, who will lose the world number one ranking officially after the Olympic tennis event.

“You can’t keep your ranking forever. If ever that were to happen, I think you have to have a different approach to what’s the next step. Is it come down to the majors? Is it do you want to chase it again? I mean, I know myself, I’m sure my goal is to try to get No. 1 ranking back, I need to play well again. I need to win big matches.
