"The age at which people retire is getting much later because we are able to have the technology and the science behind keeping us healthy longer. But I find it most inspiring, because Roger, when people say he's too old and he can't do it anymore, it doesn't change his attitude at all.
He loves the sport, he loves what he does and continues to work hard and just goes about his business. And it's difficult when people underestimate you, and undervalue you, even though he's accomplished — one of greatest of all time, if not the greatest of all time — and people still have negative things to say about him," she added.
