Roger Federer quotes

Previously I always thought it was just tactical and technique, but every match has become almost mental and physical-I try to push myself to move well. I try to push myself not to get upset and stay positive, and that's what my biggest improvement is over all those years. Under pressure I can see things very clear. (Roger Federer)

I would so like to be Lenny Kravitz. View quote
Roger Federer
It's just unreal, I'm shocked myself. I've played good matches here, but never really almost destroyed somebody. View quote
Roger Federer
I never waited 27 years, because 27 years ago I was just born. My parents never told me, 'If you don't win Roland Garros we take you to the orphanage. View quote
Roger Federer
I would suggest that his next opponents don't look to me for advice. View quote
Roger Federer
Sometimes you're just happy playing. Some people, some media, unfortunately, don't understand that it's okay just to play tennis and enjoy it. They always think you have to win everything, it always needs to be a success story, and if it's not, obviously, what is the point? Maybe you have to go back and think, Why have I started playing tennis? Because I just like it. It's actually sort of a dream hobby that became somewhat of a job. Some people just don't get that, ever. View quote
Roger Federer
You gotta be careful about how you phrase that. You don't want to be rude to the other players, because you gotta face them; I don't have to face them. Yeah, I don't ask them stupid questions like that (laughing)...Um, I think there a lot of good players on the tour. View quote
Roger Federer
Today, I'm totally zen. View quote
Roger Federer
I think it's very hard for coaches to work with me. They'll no doubt have a good CV afterwards, but at the same time they're under a lot of pressure. View quote
Roger Federer
I'm a very positive thinker, and I think that is what helps me the most in difficult moments. (Roger Federer)
Sometimes you have to accept that a guy played better on the day than you. View quote
Roger Federer
My dad said if you become a tennis professional just make sure you get into the top hundred, because you have to make a little bit of money. You make a living so you can pay your coaching and, you know, your travels. View quote
Roger Federer
Roger is just the greatest player of all time. He is the most beautiful player I've ever seen and I don't ever get tired of watching him. Rod Laver is my idol, Pete Sampras is the greatest grass court player ever, but Roger is just the greatest player of all. I think we can all appreciate how incredible he is even more lately, because he's shown a bit more emotion on court and he's become a father so he seems a bit more human, more relatable. That makes what he's doing seem even more amazing. View quote
Roger Federer
If he is playing very good, I have to play unbelievable. If not, it's impossible, especially if he's playing with good confidence. When he's 100 percent, he's playing in another league. It's impossible to stop him. I fight. I fight. I fight. Nothing to say. Just congratulate him. View quote
Roger Federer
I had a taste of what the best is tonight and I think Roger has that extra gear. He has good volleys and he has this little backhand flick that honestly, I have never seen before... it's something that I didn't have. I am happy with my performance tonight. I hung in there right until the end. View quote
Roger Federer
You guys are brutal. Absolutely brutal. The guy has only made two Grand Slam finals this year. I would love his bad year. I would love it. View quote
Roger Federer
His win today at the French Open, tying Pete Sampras's record for major titles and the completion of a career grand slam firmly places him in a special place as the greatest player of all time. He has earned his place and he has proven he belongs. Roger is a champion for the ages. View quote
Roger Federer
What he's done over the past five years has never, ever been done - and probably will never, ever happen again. Regardless if he won there or not, he goes down as the greatest ever. This just confirms it. Now that he has won in Paris, I think it just more solidifies his place in history as the greatest player that played the game, in my opinion. I'm a huge Laver fan, and he had a few years in there where he didn't have an opportunity to win majors. But you can't compare the eras. And in this era, the competition is much more fierce than Rod's. View quote
Roger Federer
It's a combination of how many grand slams have you won, how many tournaments have you won, how many years you were number one, and he's got all those combinations. The body of work is phenomenal and now he has got that French Open and I think he can just go on and sip Margaritas for the rest of his life. View quote
Roger Federer
For me Roger is the greatest player ever who played the tennis game. It's always good to see him play and win and we are going to see so much more of Federer in the future; he is going to win more grand slam tournaments. (Roger Federer)
He hits shots that other guys don't hit. You want to go over and give him a high five sometimes, but you can't do that. You want to beat him but he's fun to watch, too. View quote
Roger Federer
We are witnessing history. This is the most dominant athlete on planet earth today. View quote

Maybe, hopefully, one day you can tell me how it feels to win Montreal. View quote
