Sometimes you have to accept that a guy played better on the day than you.

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

My aim over the next few months is that I have a lot of points to defend in Miami and Hamburg, after that I can set my sights on No. 1.
Roger Federer

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.

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.

When I think of the Olympics I only think of good things. I think of what a great event it is and what it has done for me and my career, and changed my personal life, too.

Clearly, when you win everything, it's fun. That doesn't necessarily mean you love the game more.

When 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.

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.

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.

I'm not the kind of guy who wakes up angry.
Roger Federer

I have two lives, and all the problems I might have, I feel like I drop them once I step on to the match court.
Roger Federer
Image
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.

I don't need to come back to Wimbledon every year because I can't live without it. I'd be totally cool without tennis.

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.

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.

I'm as patient a father as I am on the tennis court. It takes a lot for me to get really upset, but sometimes kids can get you really cross if they really keep bugging you.
Roger Federer

I am a very positive thinker, and I think that is what helps me the most in difficult moments.
Roger Federer

Once you find that peace, that place of peace and quiet, harmony and confidence, that's when you start playing your best.
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.
