Although Federer ended the 2020 season prematurely due to knee surgery, the 38-year-old was in a good mood and did not refuse a request for an interview. The first question, of course, was about how healthy Fedex was. “I have a time when I have been rehabilitating a lot, resting and walking on crutches. I was in no hurry, I went step by step and I feel better and better. But I’m not in a position to play tennis yet. My goal is to be fit for next year, “he stated.
He coped well with a long coronavirus break, he said he definitely didn’t miss traveling. Exactly opposite. “I’ve been traveling for the last twenty-five years. The longest time I was at home was five, maximum six weeks. So I enjoy it at home, I could be with my family, I live great, “Federer continued.

So now we just hope that everything will be fine in a year, even though we can’t be sure how it will be with the pandemic.

Federer has been among the tennis elite for many years, and now he has revealed how hard it bites some elements of fitness training. “I know fitness helps me, but I’m a tennis player. I’ll do everything I need to be ready. But I don’t like the treadmill and also the stability exercises, “surprised the phenomenal tennis player, who also strengthens so that he would not have back problems.
When the legendary Swiss can’t play due to health problems, he likes to look at other sports. “In football, my idol was Zinedine Zidane. In basketball, I like LeBron James again.

And this also applies, for example, to basketball player Michael Jordan, whom I also met. “

Like every athlete, Federer has his pre-match rituals. “I’m not superstitious, but it’s important for me to be everywhere on time. I’m afraid I’ll be late, even if I’m stuck in a traffic jam. So I prefer to be everywhere sooner and I want to be fully prepared in all respects, “said the former world number one.
The current world number four then recalled their most important victory in their careers. It was probably difficult to choose one specific match with the number of duels won. But Federer did it. “Maybe it was a match against Sampras in 2001 at Wimbledon. It was a big surprise then. Pete was a huge favorite and I beat him. It was amazing. That’s when I thought that if I beat Sampras on the grass, I could win anywhere in the world. At that moment, I believed that I would have a great career, “he remarked.
An experienced Swiss did not avoid questions of privacy and family. Federer has four children, but they say they are not very interested in tennis. “I play against Raf or Novak, for example, and they don’t care at all,” he shook his head. His wife Mirka is his huge support in this regard. “She’s the best, I love her very much and I’m incredibly happy. I couldn’t do all this without her.” he paid great respects to his wife.

His life story could become the subject of a film in the future. Perhaps a similar thought occurred to the Swiss himself. When he was asked which of the actors could play him, he knew the answer immediately. “Maybe Leonardo DiCaprio or Matt Damon. I admire them, they are very talented and hardworking. I like their movies, “Federer confided.

He even revealed what the perfect day should look like in his presentation. “There are two options. In the first one, I would win Wimbledon, or some important match. And the second option would be to enjoy a day with the family. I would have coffee in the morning, meet my parents or friends and enjoy the sunset in the evening, “Federer revealed.
His love of chocolate is publicly known. How about food before matches? “I eat pasta, on the contrary, I don’t want seafood and some experiments. Salad and pasta, it works for me, “Federer said.” Of course, as a Swiss, I like chocolate, I grew up on it, “the legendary tennis player smiled.
His life is full of joy and well-being and the Swiss values everything. “I am a happy person and I am grateful for that. I have four healthy children, an amazing wife. I have many reasons to be happy. There is no reason to hide it. When I didn’t do so well in sports, for example, I always had the strength to see things positively and I always looked to the future. “
