It's no secret that Roger Federer is currently chasing the ATP's No. 1 ranking. The 36-year-old is fresh off of an Australian Open title run and is now playing the Rotterdam Open, where he needs to make the semifinals in order to take over the top spot from Rafael Nadal.
If Federer accomplishes the feat, he will be the oldest ATP player ever to be ranked No. 1. It is something that hasn't gone unnoticed by his peers, including those on the WTA tour. Here is what a few of the top women in the world had to say, from this week's Qatar Total Open in Doha:
Caroline Wozniacki:
"Roger is such an incredible athlete and obviously a great champion. And I think he deserves it. I think both him and Rafa deserve to share the No. 1 spot. So yeah, it's pretty great."
