Ahead of his Cape Town match against long-time rival Raphael Nadal to raise funds for children’s education in Africa have a look at Federer being a great dad:
“I used to sometimes (mix up the kids) if I couldn’t see their face right away. But no, nowadays I’m a pro. Of course, I can tell them apart.”
“I feel very fortunate I can travel with them around the world and I discovered the cities now from a different angle,” Roger Federer said on traveling with his family.”
“They are so cute, well-educated, they like traveling, they get excited when they go on a plane or when they come to the zoo or even tennis with me. I never saw myself in a vision as a tennis player and father and husband at the same time. For me it was like, Hopefully, I would win Wimbledon one day, I would be No. 1 one day and probably have a girlfriend.”
“It’s sort of the one thing the we require the kids to do. All of our friends play tennis also and I don’t want my kids to be the only ones who don’t play any tennis.”
