World number three Roger Federer shared his insights about how he sees his career at this point, stating that his mindset is now different than before. The 32-year old Swiss tennis superstar is currently in Toronto this week for the Rogers Cup, an ATP Masters 1000 tournament he has won twice in the past.
“I feel more laid back today than I ever have been,” said Federer. “I don’t have to prove anything to anybody. For me, it’s about, ‘How do I feel in practice?’ ‘What’s my motivation?’ I can analyse [things] much more clearly than I ever have.
“I am not in a hectic place. When i was younger, I felt more pressure to do what people said,” said Federer. “Now I go my pace and I enjoy the process. I love to go back to places like Toronto. I see the positive sides.”
Federer and wife, Mirka, welcome their second set of twins on May this year. This time they have twin boys named Leo and Lenny. Their first set of twins were girls.
“It’s been a great few months waiting. When the boys arrived, seeing the reaction of the girls and seeing how the new dynamics would be as a family. It’s been incredibly nice, said Federer. “We’ve had a beautiful last few weeks after Wimbledon when we could really spend quality time away from all the tennis tournaments. It’s been great. I love it.”
