More quotes by 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
My dad said if you become a tennis professional just make sure you get into the top hundred, because you have to make a little bit of money. You make a living so you can pay your coaching and, you know, your travels.
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.
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'm not the kind of guy who wakes up angry.
Roger Federer
Winning or losing, it's always something special and something you'll remember, even more so when the match was as dramatic as it was today. It's even more memorable when I see my kids there with my wife and everything. That's what touched me the most, to be quite honest. The disappointment of the match itself went pretty quickly.
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
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.

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
One should just be able to play a perfect 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
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 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
Clearly, when you win everything, it's fun. That doesn't necessarily mean you love the game more.
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.
Roger Federer
It's just unreal, I'm shocked myself. I've played good matches here, but never really almost destroyed somebody.
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
Being down match point, it's just not fun.
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
