I’m not the kind of guy who wakes up angry.
ROGER FEDERERI’m not the kind of guy who wakes up angry.
ROGER FEDERERIn the locker room I was getting impatient to get on the court, I had to warm up several times.
ROGER FEDERERMy dad said if you become a tennis professional just make sure you get into the top hundred, because you have to make a little bit of money. You make a living so you can pay your coaching and, you know, your travels.
ROGER FEDERERI am thinking more and more about what I want to and can do after my days as an active athlete. Thoughts like family and marriage also cross my mind more and more often.
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 FEDERERIt’s not so simple to just stay in the moment and trust your game and your strength that you can turn it around.
ROGER FEDERERWhen I won in 2003, never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would win Wimbledon and have my kids seeing me lift the trophy, so this is pretty surreal. And yeah, I was almost shocked in the moment that it all came together so nicely.
ROGER FEDERERI always knew I had something special.
ROGER FEDERERYou know, I don’t only play for the record books.
ROGER FEDEREROh, my God, I don’t think any player can look forward to or expect to a career of so many Grand Slam wins or title wins or being so long at the top of the game.
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 playing great tennis. I’m enjoying the tour, having fun with the fans off the court. I’m loving it now.
ROGER FEDERERI had a nice dinner. I let the evening unfold, flow. I like to sit in a chair with a wine glass. When I woke up, I thought, ‘Why didn’t I go to bed at 11?’ I came back at 3 and went to bed at 5.
ROGER FEDERERI definitely need to use my chances when they come because definitely there wont be many.
ROGER FEDERERI think it’s very hard for coaches to work with me. They’ll no doubt have a good CV afterwards, but at the same time they’re under a lot of pressure.
ROGER FEDERERI am a very positive thinker, and I think that is what helps me the most in difficult moments.
