Roger world no.7? Time to retire? Not really!
The Swiss Maestro explained during a recent interview that his love for tennis is still huge and how he and his family has adapted to his life. Actually it seems he still has lots of fuel in the tank
Roger: I love tennis no matter if I win or lose
The Maestro had some comments on his unconditioned love on tennis “Clearly when you win everything, it’s fun. doesn’t necessarily mean you love the game more. You just like winning, being on the front page, lifting trophies, doing comfortable press conferences. It’s nice.
But that doesn’t mean you really actually love it, love it. That maybe shines through maybe more in times when you don’t play that well. For me, I knew it, winning or losing, practice court or match court, that I love it.”
About how he adapted to the new family…
Than Roger elaborated no how he had to adapt to the new family after the birth of his daughters.
“Clearly when I had my two girls, I also wasn’t sure right off the bat how it was going to be after that,” he said. “Was I going to be able to play the same schedule? Was my love for the game as big? Were we going to be able to cope with the whole thing, having twins or not?
I managed it totally fine. They were at the court today. I’m so happy to see them before and after the match. I’m in a good spot right now. I want to enjoy it as long as it lasts.”
… how the twins are coping
The good point for the Maestro is that his daughters didn’t have many problems to adapt to the unconventional life of following him around to comment “I think they’re learning as we go along automatically, just getting to meet so many different people, cities and countries and languages, places and travels.
I think just by travelling by itself, it’s unbelievable how much you learn. Being more independent. I’m still learning still today, I feel, even though I know my way pretty much around, what works, what doesn’t work.”
So… time for the Maestro to win another slam?
