"I've been very strict and serious about the rules" - Federer on how he's coping during the lockdown
Tennis News
Although he may be taking time off to recuperate from knee surgery, Roger Federer isn't exempt from restrictions imposed due to the ongoing pandemic.
In an interview with Miami Living, the 20-time Grand Slam champion spoke about the impact of the lockdown on his life and family.
"I've been very strict and serious about the rules," Federer stated. "I haven't even seen my parents in three months now, and we've been chasing around the kids the best we can on our own.
But I think this strange time has given us a chance to reflect and take stock of what really matters - which is family, friends, health and happiness."
Federer went on to announce that he would donate one million Swiss Francs to the most vulnerable families in Switzerland. He stressed that these were challenging times for everyone, adding that no one should be left behind.
The donation was made to a newly established emergency assistance fund, managed by a group called Winterhlife. This organization is a highly trusted partner of the Roger Federer Foundation, and specializes in supporting families in need.

Growing up in a household where soccer was king, my earliest memories are filled with chants from packed stadiums and the rhythm of a ball being passed across neighborhood streets. But somewhere along the way, the quiet elegance and raw emotion of tennis pulled me in. What began as a curiosity became a lifelong passion; not just for the sport itself, but for the stories it tells: of grit, of heartbreak, of improbable comebacks and human resilience.
As a tennis writer, I bring the observational lens of someone who didn’t grow up in the sport, but fell in love with it as an outsider; a perspective that lets me see both its technical beauty and its emotional depth. Over the years working with TennisUpToDate, I’ve had the privilege of reaching more than 3.5 million readers worldwide, with one of my features ranking among the site’s top three articles.
With a background in storytelling and a creative mind always searching for meaning beyond the scoreboard, I aim to craft narratives that go deeper than results and rankings. Whether it’s a rising star breaking through or a veteran fighting off Father Time, I try to capture the heartbeat behind the headlines.
