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.

More quotes by Roger Federer
I don't need to come back to Wimbledon every year because I can't live without it. I'd be totally cool without tennis.
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
With all the injury problems we have in men's tennis at the moment, I'm happy to still be standing.
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
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
You can be stubborn and successful or you can give it up a bit and change things around. For me it's important to have a bit of both.
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
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 always had the dream that, once I became No 1 in the world, that if I had a child I hoped I would have it early enough so the child can see me playing.
Roger Federer
I went to Phuket already, but would love to go to Chiang Mai one day.
Roger Federer
For me, it's important that a fan can buy something that is related to me. Like in soccer, you buy a shirt and it's got somebody's name on the back. That's kind of a cool thing.
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
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
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
I used to do a lot of video analysis early on, but more for pleasure and looking at my own technique.
Roger Federer
Success is a nice thing because it always means you've taken a step forward and it gives you a sense of pride, which in turn gives you confidence and experience-a positive circle, so to speak.
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
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
I never waited 27 years, because 27 years ago I was just born. My parents never told me, 'If you don't win Roland Garros we take you to the orphanage.
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
