Roger Federer and his teenage dilemma! 

Federer gracefully recollected an anecdote from his teenage years that really made him question the purpose of what he was doing at present. 

“I remember going to a dentist once and he asked me, ‘so what are you doing?’ And I’m like, “well, I’m a tennis player now.” He goes, “what else?” and I’m like, “just tennis player,” “that’s all I do.”

“I realized, man, it’s just playing tennis, you know. Is this really enough? And I started really questioning myself. I thought that maybe I could be the next super tennis player for my country,” said Federer. 

Well, as we all know, the thought soon turned into reality, and through sheer hardwork, Roger Federer made himself one of the best to ever grace the sport. From being a whimsical kid from Switzerland, not even Federer would have imagined the level of greatness he would go on to achieve in the men’s game.
