بالاک گفته عملکرد فدرر در فینال ویمبلدون، برای او الهام بخش بوده تا فصل نا امید کننده ی قبلی رو فراموش کنه
Chelsea’s German midfielder Michael Ballack has revealed that watching tennis legend Roger Federer recover from a slump in form to win Wimbledon gave him the inspiration to bounce back from a disappointing season at Stamford Bridge He revealed: "It's good for your career as a sportsman if you watch other professional sports - how they're behaving and how they react in difficult situations. I think it's always good to learn from other sports.
"It was amazing to see how relaxed Federer was and how easy he made it look. This is always a sign he's on a different level. If you play five hours of a match, five sets and the last is 16-14, you have to come to a point where it's getting difficult. But you couldn't see it happening with him and this was unbelievable."
