With all the injury problems we have in men’s tennis at the moment, I’m happy to still be standing.

ROGER FEDERERI don’t mind fans coming up in a friendly, respectful way. That’s all part of the fun of being a top tennis player. But if people take pictures without permission, particularly if my children are in the shot, I feel uncomfortable.
ROGER FEDERERConfidence? Are you kidding me? I mean, please. Look, some players grow up and play like that. I remember losing junior matches. Just being down 5-2 in the third, and they all just start slapping shots.
ROGER FEDERERHopefully I can just have another terrible year with only the one Grand Slam and that will be just fine.
ROGER FEDERERI am a very positive thinker, and I think that is what helps me the most in difficult moments.
ROGER FEDEREROnce you find that peace, that place of peace and quiet, harmony and confidence, that’s when you start playing your best.
ROGER FEDERERMy family is the thing I miss most on the tour.
ROGER FEDERERI definitely feel there’s room for improvement.
ROGER FEDERERI’ve done so many interviews over the years in so many different languages. Radios. Papers. Magazines. There’s always another interview to do. It’s quite something, I have to say.
ROGER FEDERERA man who wins, is a man who thinks he can.
ROGER FEDERERThe serve, I think, is the most difficult, you know, in terms of coordination, because you got the two arms going, and you got to toss it up at the right time so.
ROGER FEDEREROne or two years ago, I didn’t know who I was on court and I used to swear a lot. But now I’ve learned how to cope and can therefore win 10 matches in a row. I want to be remembered as a good player rather than an idiot on court.
ROGER FEDERERSimple version for me is, umm, started bad and finished bad basically.
ROGER FEDERERMaybe further down the road in my career, in a couple of years when I’m maybe not that fast any more around the court, then maybe it would be good to come to the net a little bit more often.
ROGER FEDERERThere is no way around the hard work. Embrace it.
ROGER FEDERERI was aware of how incredible the match was. Unfortunately there had to be a winner. From my point of view many left feeling sorry for me instead of being happy for Rafa. Which hurts.
