Each and every game has its own share of controversial player, iconic player, and show offs, etc., such as Sachin Tendulkar, Pele and Michael Jordan in cricket, football and basketball respectively. Andrew Symonds and Roy Keane may be controversial players in their respective sports. Have we ever heard about Sachin Tendulkar being vocal about complaints related to cricket? The greats of the game have their own way of making things happen, which may not necessarily be shown in public.

For Tennis fans of the modern era, they consider Federer to be one of the best players who has ever played the game, thus we could also call him to be an iconic figure, who always keeps the sport ahead of any player or any issues. He is someone who would not like a bad name to come to a sport, which has made him from a player to a legend in a career, who had turned pro in 1998.

 
He has always been in the limelight for his display on the court, with his great skills. He has always tried to remain detached from the controversies surrounding the sport, thus he is hardly in the limelight for negative reasons. Hence, he might have been quiet about the issue, which many players have highlighted.
 
He may also be sitting quiet, as he is aware of the consequences. If proper care is not taken care about the complaints that have been talked about by the players, they could even go in for a strike, which would bring down the reputation of the sport.

How long will Federer be able to remain silent and not talk about it? Will he support the players regarding the issue? If he does, how will the Tennis Federation react to it? These are few questions that would be ringing in one’s head at the moment, as the debate over the issue is just getting hotter.
