More quotes by Roger Federer
I'm shocked every time that I've reached so many finals or won against so many players or whatever record it is. It strikes me and makes me obviously very happy and very proud that I've been able to do it for so many years at the highest of levels.
Roger Federer
You can be stubborn and successful or you can give it up a bit and change things around. For me it's important to have a bit of both.
Roger Federer
It 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 Federer
You always want to win. That is why you play tennis, because you love the sport and try to be the best you can at it.
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
Tennis can be a very frustrating sport. There is no way around the hard work. Embrace it. You have to put in the hours because there is always something you can improve. [Y]ou have to put in a lot of sacrifice and effort for sometimes little reward but you have to know that, if you put in the right effort, the reward will come.

My wife doesn't like Football but she watches it just for Messi.
Roger Federer
For me, I'm in the driver's seat I'm No. 1 in the world. I've won the last couple of meetings, and I've won the big tournaments lately. Whoever comes, I'll try to beat him. But it's almost up to me to decide who's my rival, isn't it?
Roger Federer
It's not so simple to just stay in the moment and trust your game and your strength that you can turn it around.
Roger Federer
I never expected i, in the first place, when I started playing tennis, that I would ever carry the flag into the Olympic Stadium for an Olympic Games... So for me that was a surprise and a huge honor in my life to be able to represent Switzerland.
Roger Federer
When I was 12 years old, I was just horrible. My parents were ashamed to watch my matches. I would play on a court at the local club and they would watch from the balcony. They would scream, 'Be quiet' to me and I would scream back, 'Go and have a drink. Leave me alone.' Then we would drive home in a very quiet car. No one speaking to each other.
Roger Federer
I'm not the kind of guy who wakes up angry.
Roger Federer
The 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 Federer
I've always been aware that the image you patiently construct for an entire career can be ruined in a minute. It scares you a bit, but that's the way things are.
Roger Federer
In the locker room I was getting impatient to get on the court, I had to warm up several times.
Roger Federer
I 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 Federer
I had set a goal with my team to try and get back to the top of the rankings, but I never thought with the depth in the game this year that I would have been able to get it back so quickly.
Roger Federer
With all the injury problems we have in men's tennis at the moment, I'm happy to still be standing.
Roger Federer
You've never seen me dance, have you?
Roger Federer
I am a very positive thinker, and I think that is what helps me the most in difficult moments.
