More quotes by Roger Federer
With all the injury problems we have in men's tennis at the moment, I'm happy to still be standing.

I used to do a lot of video analysis early on, but more for pleasure and looking at my own technique.
Roger Federer
What I think I've been able to do well over the years is play with pain, play with problems, play in all sorts of conditions.
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
One of my big, big strengths I think early on in my career was that I could learn very quickly. You wouldn't have to tell me the things 10 times or 50 times until I would understand them. You would only have to tell me two or three times.
Roger Federer
I have learnt to be even more patient.
Roger Federer

Roger Federer
I'm not the kind of guy who wakes up angry.
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 was aware of how incredible the match was. Unfortunately there had to be a winner. From my point of view many left feeling sorry for me instead of being happy for Rafa. Which hurts.
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
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't expect yourself to be already peaking like crazy in an exhibition tournament.
Roger Federer
You live during the match, and you have strong emotions, but you don't want to get too overexcited. My body's totally flat now. I cannot move anymore. I'm totally exhausted, just because of the tension out there.
Roger Federer
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.
Roger Federer
My favorite shot is always gonna be the forehand. It used to always be my favorite shot when I was young, so it's the one I've won all the points with.
Roger Federer
I am thinking more and more about what I want to and can do after my days as an active athlete. Thoughts like family and marriage also cross my mind more and more often.
