Federer's kids make him "a professional driver, an organizer and a logistics man"

Former world number one Roger Federer has revealed interesting
details about how he is spending his retirement life.
The 42-year-old announced retirement from the sport in
September last year after struggling with fitness concerns for a long time.
Federer was quoted in a report where he stated that he is
now busy in taking care of his kids and he feels like a ‘professional driver
and a logistical man’.
"Yeah, it's definitely a test [to spend life after
retirement] on a complete another level," he said. "And then, I mean
there's what's going on, I'm still in the gym actually I'm surprised I'm going
to the gym.
"I always use to dread the moment of going to the gym
so I do that like four or five times a week. Believe it or not. I don't look
the part maybe. I'm a little bit heavier, Unfortunately. Well, I'm working on
that right now."
"Yeah the days are long, but at the same time, I still
feel I don't have enough time, you know? Because I packed my schedule up.
"Four kids will do that to you as well. So I'm a professional driver
nowadays, an organizer and a logistics man."
Federer is often termed as one of the greatest players in the
men’s singles tennis history in the Open era.
The legendary tennis star ended his career after winning as
many as 20 Grand Slams, third-most in the list behind only Serbia’s Novak
Djokovic and Spain’s Rafael Nadal.
Federer became the first men’s singles player to win more
than 14 Grand Slams in his career. Later, he also became the first to lift 20 major
titles.
The Basel-born most successful competition has been
Wimbledon where he ended up lifting the title eight times which is a record in
the tournament’s history.

- This financial 'chump-change' means nothing to Saba. Her vacuity likely cannot fathom the "problem" with her unprofessional actions and reactions in general. The racquet smash is not my focus. My focus was/is on her distasteful, totally unprofessional, disgusting facial expressions and eye-rolls while standing behind Elena as she spoke on the podium. This woman needs a degree of therapy for her True Attitude(s). She is not fooling anyone within the WTA circles with her post-match winner "humor" and smiley behavior. Her True Self comes out when losing a set/match and as a runner-up on the podium.

- WTA has been unfairly ignoring Elena ever since Wimbledon. Arguably biased against her. Same with the most major sponsors whom normally pounce on the Wimbledon Winners for sponsorship. Didn't happen. Her unfair treatment was always in Lena's subconcious; how she was largely ignored after Wimbledon. Her sister helped her a lot during that period. Next came illnesses and minor injury. A lot of time was lost, and physical (mental?) issues were frequent, as she fought through the absurdiy and general nonsense brought-on by her coach/partner. He was a Loser then, he's a Loser still. Although he has lowered his attitude, volume, and non-stop yapping from the box since he wore the organizations out with his non-stop legal letters begging for mercy and ultimately fully reinstated. Rybakina deserves all the accolades others have enjoyed and more for her strength and will to succeed. Hope it continues.mandoist15-09-2026
