Still + pres. simple/continuous
Hello all.
What's the difference between:
Federer play a high quality tennis.
Federer is still playing high quality tennis.
I found article where was the following sentence: When I knew that Federer, at age 34, is still playing amazing tennis and is a number 2 in the world....I could not believe it.
Why is it still+ present continuous? I would prefer using present simple as Federer has always played a good tennis during his career and therefore there is no reason for using pres. continuous. For temporary situations?
Thanks !
