Roger Federer On Life After Tennis, Performing With Coldplay & More Carpool | 2023 Laver Cup

difficult as he is in the act he was a difficult opponent last year for you, he is tough again tonight yes, he is annoying, okay, I have one for you that is not annoying at all, you are going to like this one a lot. This is from Olivia, who is here in section 118 and her question is Roger, I'm nine years old. What advice would you give to a nine-year-old Roger Federer trying to process this? Well, have fun when you go to practice, have fun, listen to your parents, listen to your coaches, they're right, you know it, and maybe you would have.

I had a better career with the two-handed backhand, you know, no, I'm kidding, I'm happy with my one-handed backhand, but, yeah, those tips, yeah, let's dig a little deeper into this backhand crisis that we're just now discovering. . So, I think your children play a little

tennis

. They like it a little. They have one-handed or two-handed games. What did you advise them? I mean, that's logical, your one-handed game is amazing, yeah, them. but all four have two hands, of course they do. I'm going to come home and tell them let's go for the one hand one and I want to see how horrible it will be, well actually we should try it.

Because I don't know if I always will. I played with a two-handed backhand and a two-handed backhand at first because of the heavy rackets and then I don't know when I completely switched to one-handed. so, and I'm wondering how many of you know about Wawrinka, the team and the boobs when they changed, it's really interesting, we should do some research. Sampras's best shot as a junior was his two-handed backhand and he switched because his coach wanted him to. being

more

expert at the net and thinking that the one-handed players had better volleys. It turned out well for him, it turned out well for you.

I think he was okay for us, actually, right, he wasn't that bad, yeah, not that bad, now that we were taught. We have talked a lot about your incredible past and the mark you have left on this sport. What about what the future holds for Roger Federer? If you're a guy with a lot of goals, a lot of things on your mind, what's next? 25 years seems to you, oh, 25 years, well we can start with five and work, yes, I know, I mean, yes, I mean, it's a really intense and beautiful

life

that I'm living right now with the kids and States Joined. really having the best time, there's a lot going on.

I feel like I'm finally controlling my schedule now because after last year's Labor Cup there were still a lot of things organized because I didn't know I was going to retire in the fall, so I feel like halfway through this year I could start dictating my schedule a lot.

more

and it was great so that's something that I'm obviously starting to get a better handle on now and I think it's going to be important just for the family and my friends and you know where we're going how we're going with everything because every week, month it changes you know with the kids , so everything is fine there.

I mean, obviously, I've done a lot with the foundation, as always. I was also just at the UN, you know, fighting for early learning again this past Monday, so that's something I really enjoy in particular. I took the children and Mirka and finally we all went to the zoo for the first time as a family. To the south of South Africa on a study trip with the foundation which was a dream of mine for 20 years since I started the foundation, we are now celebrating 20 years so I know that will definitely be something that will happen. my

life

in 25 years in some way to be able to give back and then um, I mean, new projects come up, you know, and you see, I don't want to be too opportunistic either.

I'm saying no to a There's a lot going on right now, which isn't the most fun, you know, because everyone thinks I have a lot of time, so I get tons of invites. I can't be everywhere, but I know I will make the right decisions. I have a wonderful team around me and a great wife, so, yes, I'm looking forward to seeing what's next and there's some

tennis

to spread somewhere somehow, so I'll be around and we'll see each other again. I'm so glad to have you with us, ladies and gentlemen, a big round of applause, he's the one and only Roger, thank you for coming tonight.
