DISCOVER THE BEST BRAINY QUOTES OF
ROGER FEDERER...

MAYBE ROGER FEDERER WILL RESCUE TENNIS. HE PLAYS LIKE WE DID IN THE PAST.

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.

ROGER FEDERER

ROGER FEDERER IS THE MOST TALENTED TENNIS PLAYER I HAVE EVER SEEN. HE HAS THE CAPACITY TO BECOME THE GREATEST IN HISTORY.

MAYBE, HOPEFULLY, ONE DAY YOU CAN TELL ME HOW IT FEELS TO WIN MONTREAL. HELP US TRANSLATE THIS QUOTE — ROGER FEDERER RUNNER

ROGER FEDERER

THE BEST WAY TO BEAT HIM WOULD BE TO HIT HIM OVER THE HEAD WITH A RACQUET. ROGER COULD WIN THE GRAND SLAM IF HE KEEPS PLAYING THE WAY HE IS AND, IF HE DOES THAT, IT WILL EQUATE TO THE TWO GRAND SLAMS THAT I WON BECAUSE STANDARDS ARE MUCH HIGHER THESE DAYS.

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. HELP US TRANSLATE THIS QUOTE — ROGER FEDERER WHEN ASKED WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO WAIT 27 YEARS TO WIN THE FRENCH OPEN. HTTP://198.105.192.83/GENERAL/TENNIS/STORY?STORYID=4760203 0 IT WAS JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS FOR HIM TO FORGET AND ME TO REMEMBER. HELP US TRANSLATE THIS QUOTE

ROGER FEDERER

OH, I WOULD BE HONOURED TO EVEN BE COMPARED TO ROGER. HE HAS SUCH AN UNBELIEVABLE TALENT, AND IS CAPABLE OF ANYTHING. ROGER COULD BE THE GREATEST TENNIS PLAYER OF ALL TIME.

ROGER FEDERER

IT WAS JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS FOR HIM TO FORGET AND ME TO REMEMBER.

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.

ROGER FEDERER

PEOPLE SOMETIMES MISS IT AND SOMETIMES THEY DON’T HAVE IT AND THEY WANT IT, AND WHEN THEY HAVE IT, THEY DON’T WANT IT

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.

ROGER FEDERER

WE NEED A CLOWN FOR THIS CIRCUS.

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.

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.

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.

ROGER FEDERER

NO, THE OTHER ONE WAS A NIGHT SESSION TOO AND I WAS WEARING A WHITE! NO I’M NOT SUPERSTITIOUS AT ALL AS YOU CAN SEE AND… I TRY NOT TO BE… AND BECAUSE I TRY NO TO BE, I GUESS I AM… SO IT’S REALLY STRANGE!

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.

ROGER FEDERER

I WOULD SO LIKE TO BE LENNY KRAVITZ.

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.

ROGER FEDERER

IT’S JUST UNREAL, I’M SHOCKED MYSELF. I’VE PLAYED GOOD MATCHES HERE, BUT NEVER REALLY ALMOST DESTROYED SOMEBODY.

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.

ROGER FEDERER

I THINK YOU NEED INSPIRATION, MOTIVATION FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES TO KEEP YOU GOING, BECAUSE IT ISN’T THAT SIMPLE JUST TO WAKE UP EVERY MORNING AND GO FOR ANOTHER TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD, ANOTHER PRACTICE, ALL THESE OTHER THINGS; ANOTHER FITNESS WORKOUT, ANOTHER STRETCH. IT’S ALWAYS NICE, BUT YOU NEED TO HAVE SOME SUCCESS AND YOU NEED TO HAVE THE RIGHT REASONS WHY YOU’RE DOING IT. I THINK I’VE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT AND I REALLY ENJOY MYSELF OUT ON THE COURT.

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

ALL FOUR OF THOSE ARE ON GRASS, WHEREAS I HAVE TO PLAY SOME ON A HARD COURT!

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.

ROGER FEDERER

TODAY, I’M TOTALLY ZEN.

ROGER FEDERER

THE METAPHYSICAL EXPLANATION IS THAT ROGER FEDERER IS ONE OF THOSE RARE, PRETERNATURAL ATHLETES WHO APPEAR TO BE EXEMPT, AT LEAST IN PART, FROM CERTAIN PHYSICAL LAWS.

ROGER FEDERER

I WOULD SUGGEST THAT HIS NEXT OPPONENTS DON’T LOOK TO ME FOR ADVICE

ROGER FEDERER

I NEVER CAN BEAT ROGER, HE’S TOO MUCH FOR ME… BUT THE SENIOR TOUR, I WILL BEAT HIM THEN! HE’S THE BEST OF HISTORY AND I’M VERY LUCKY TO PLAY THE BEST PLAYER OF THE WORLD.

ROGER FEDERER

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?
