I 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 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 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 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 FEDERERClearly, when you win everything, it’s fun. That doesn’t necessarily mean you love the game more.
ROGER FEDERERI have learnt to be even more patient.
ROGER FEDERERWhen you do something best in life, you don’t really want to give that up – and for me it’s tennis.
ROGER FEDERERI have a very strong opinion. I’m absolutely against it. I’m against the challenge system. I’m for the way it is right now. Don’t change that.
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 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 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 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 FEDERERBeing a husband is for me as big a priority as being a father.
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.
