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
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 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
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 went to Phuket already, but would love to go to Chiang Mai one day.
Roger Federer
Simple version for me is, umm, started bad and finished bad basically.
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
Being down match point, it's just not fun.
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
I feel a bit awkward playing in a red shirt out at Wimbledon. But I don't dislike 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 a very positive thinker, and I think that is what helps me the most in difficult moments.
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
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 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
I am a sucker for those old traditional places, and Rome is as good as it gets, particularly when you throw in Italian food.
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
I have learnt to be even more patient.
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 have a great record against anybody right now, so it doesn't really matter who I play in the final. I'll be in there as the big favorite. But I play my best in the finals, in the important matches. That's why I'm number one. There's no secret...I'm not overconfident, but very confident.
