Being down match point, it’s just not fun.
ROGER FEDERERBeing down match point, it’s just not fun.
ROGER FEDERERI always believe if you’re stuck in a hole and maybe things aren’t going well you will come out stronger. Everything in life is this way.
ROGER FEDERERNo, I’m not (disappointed). There’s no reason to be because I’m on an incredible run. You always expect a loss once in a while. So when it happens, why be disappointed if I win over 90% of my matches.
ROGER FEDERERBeing a husband is for me as big a priority as being a father.
ROGER FEDERERThe more I lose, the more they believe they can beat me. But believing is not enough, you still have to beat me.
ROGER FEDERERIt’s just unreal, I’m shocked myself. I’ve played good matches here, but never really almost destroyed somebody.
ROGER FEDERERYou have to believe in the long term plan you have but you need the short term goals to motivate and inspire you.
ROGER FEDERERThe nicer the point, the more — the better I feel, the more excited I get. But I never play that my opponent looks stupid. I think that is wrong. I have too much respect for every opponent I play.
ROGER FEDERERI’m not the kind of guy who wakes up angry.
ROGER FEDERERIt is always in my mind still that I can crush anybody. That’s not an issue. But I think that is the same for most athletes. If you don’t believe you can win tournaments anymore, then you can’t do it.
ROGER FEDERERHopefully I can just have another terrible year with only the one Grand Slam and that will be just fine.
ROGER FEDERERSuccess is a nice thing because it always means you’ve taken a step forward and it gives you a sense of pride, which in turn gives you confidence and experience-a positive circle, so to speak.
ROGER FEDERERI fear no one, but respect everyone.
ROGER FEDERERIn the locker room I was getting impatient to get on the court, I had to warm up several times.
ROGER FEDERERI have learnt to be even more patient.
ROGER FEDERERI never waited 27 years, because 27 years ago I was just born. My parents never told me, ‘If you don’t win Roland Garros we take you to the orphanage.
