More quotes by 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
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
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.
Roger Federer
Before, I guess, mum and dad were everything, but now, in my case, I had two new girls and all of a sudden they're completely dependent on you and there's a third generation. It's a funny shift all of a sudden. You have the babies, you have yourself and then you have your parents.
Roger Federer
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.
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'm playing great tennis. I'm enjoying the tour, having fun with the fans off the court. I'm loving it now.
Roger Federer
Clearly, when you win everything, it's fun. That doesn't necessarily mean you love the game more.
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 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
It's not so simple to just stay in the moment and trust your game and your strength that you can turn it around.
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
I have learnt to be even more patient.
Roger Federer
I always believe if you're stuck in a hole and maybe things aren't going well you will come out stronger. Everything in life is this way.
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
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
Simple version for me is, umm, started bad and finished bad basically.
Roger Federer
You have to believe in the long term plan you have but you need the short term goals to motivate and inspire you.
Roger Federer
Maybe further down the road in my career, in a couple of years when I'm maybe not that fast any more around the court, then maybe it would be good to come to the net a little bit more often
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
