“ I do not like to be alone. I always need someone around me. Then I am happy”, said Roger Federer. “Mirka is very different than me,” he continued. “I remember well that she was often telling me that she was going to the city. Then I asked her who she was going with and she said: “Alone”. I asked: “Alone?” That’s terrible, walking alone”, he laughed. “But she said that got her relaxed and was totally okay with it. For me, it’s impossible to walk alone.”

Federer also said that he keeps his children away from the social media as much as possible. “I know, it would be easy to give them a mobile phone”, he said. “But I would like to make it happen as late as possible, so that they grow like me. Yeah, they have a very different life but I may give them a little bit more normality. I do not want to be totally contrary on it, the mobile phone gives us a lot of advantages. But it’s clear that you have to be careful”, emphasized the maestro.
