When you do something best in life, you don’t really want to give that up – and for me it’s tennis.

Roger Federer

Sometimes I am a different character in different languages. I have different enjoyment from them. Sometimes different answers come out of me. Like, I didnt even know that about me. I get to know myself through different languages, actually.
ROGER FEDERER

Character Different Identity Language Myself
One 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.

I 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.

No, 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.

I used to do a lot of video analysis early on, but more for pleasure and looking at my own technique.

I always had the dream that, once I became No 1 in the world, that if I had a child I hoped I would have it early enough so the child can see me playing.

It’s just unreal, I’m shocked myself. I’ve played good matches here, but never really almost destroyed somebody.

I feel a bit awkward playing in a red shirt out at Wimbledon. But I don’t dislike it.

The crowds are very important for tennis. It makes you play better, but it can also make you nervous and that’s the beauty of it.

Being a husband is for me as big a priority as being a father.

Early in my career, I struggled with consistency, but I couldn’t get more consistent than this year.
ROGER FEDERER

Career Consistency Myself Struggle
I 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 FEDERER

I’m at the top of my game so, when I win or lose, I don’t freak out…I don’t think we can call it a rivalry yet. There’s just to many great players around.
