Roger Federer on coaching his children in tennis: “I want to support them, not as a coach, but as a father”
Roger Federer has expressed his intention to support his children’s tennis ambitions fully and to serve as a mentor to them.
Federer has spoken openly about his twin girls, Myla Rose and Charlene, as well as his boys, Leo and Lenny, taking up tennis. The 42-year-old, who retired from professional tennis in September of last year, recently participated in a private tennis session in Japan with his wife Mirka and their children.
Tennis still plays a vital role in his life, according to the 20-time Grand Slam champion, who revealed this in an interview with GQ. He expressed his intention to assist his children in their tennis aspirations by serving as a mentor and offering helpful advice.
“Because my children play tennis, I’m still on the court a lot, and I want to support them.” “Not as a coach at all, but as a father who can give them very good advice,” he explained. (This is a translation from German.)
Federer also stated that his attendance at tennis matches allowed him to stay involved with the sport. Notably, the former World No. 1 was recognized earlier this year at the Wimbledon Championships. He also recently competed in the Laver Cup in Vancouver.
“Of course, I’m also represented at many major tennis events, and I’m thrilled to be there again.” After all, this is my second home and family,” he explained.
Roger Federer, the tennis player, said, “My children are 9 and 14, so the next few years will be super exciting and crucial in our family.”
Roger Federer revealed that he had considered doing commentary after retiring but had decided against it for the time being. He did, however, indicate a desire to continue to be involved in tennis in some capacity.
“After my career ended, I briefly considered commenting on tennis power.” I’ve gotten away from it for the time being, but who knows what may happen next? I will always be devoted to the sport because of the wonderful individuals I have met through it. “It remains to be seen exactly what role he will play,” he remarked.
Looking ahead, the 20-time Grand Slam champion expressed his excitement for the next few years as his children, ages 9 and 14, approach a critical and exciting stage in their lives.
Federer also expressed his wish to be actively involved in their growth and to help them in any way he could.
“My children are 9 and 14, so the next few years will be exciting and pivotal in our family.” “I want to be there for them, to watch them grow up, and to help them in any way I can,” he stated.
