More quotes by 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
Previously I always thought it was just tactical and technique, but every match has become almost mental and physical - I try to push myself to move well. I try to push myself not to get upset and stay positive, and that's what my biggest improvement is over all those years. Under pressure I can see things very clear.
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.
Roger Federer
The more I lose, the more they believe they can beat me. But believing is not enough, you still have to beat me.
Roger Federer
I let the evening unfold. I'm the sort of guy who likes to sit in the chair and look at the wine glass.
Roger Federer
In the locker room I was getting impatient to get on the court, I had to warm up several times.
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
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 am very blessed to be able to play tennis, the sport that I love and very grateful for the opportunities to play in the finals of big events, when the season starts you are on the roll constantly and obliged to be committed to daily routines on and off the court.
Roger Federer
You can't expect yourself to be already peaking like crazy in an exhibition tournament.
Roger Federer
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.
Roger Federer
I 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 Federer
Oh, 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 Federer
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
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.
Roger Federer
When you do something best in life, you don't really want to give that up - and for me it's tennis.
Roger Federer
I definitely feel there's room for improvement.
Roger Federer
Sometimes you have to accept that a guy played better on the day than you.
Roger Federer
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
