Roger Federer tells his story after two decades
The Swiss Tennis icon reflects on a career that has spanned almost two decades and lives with his twin daughters and twin sons, his will to nurture them whether they will choose Tennis as their profession or not and even when most will die to have the King of Wimbledon coach them his daughters perhaps got other plans.
He has been blessed with two twins daughters and sons who now train four times a week and even when the 20-time grand slam champion is always present with them on the court he prefers to sit back and do the watching.
he tells CNN’s Christina Macfarlane that he mostly tries to take a back seat.
“I’m not the coach, I am the dad, and the dad’s advice, as we know, only goes so far,” the 41-year-old Federer laughs. “It doesn’t matter if you’ve won Wimbledon or not, you’re still the dad and sometimes they don’t want to hear what you have to say.
At the peak of his playing days the Swiss star was also playing abroad and perhaps had smaller time for his family but now finds all the time in the world to teach and nurture his kids
“I don’t think we were the crazy tennis parents who said: ‘Girls, you’ve got to go and play every day for two hours,’” Federer says.
“But now I really start feeling it now that they are about to turn 14, they want to play more and more and more.”
