rory Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 hewit says fatherhood won't hinder federer's tennis birth of Roger Federer's first child late in the summer should not affect the Swiss player's mighty game. With the cushion of money to ease the childcard load, it likely will be be business as usual on the ATP for the world No. 2 and wife Mirka. "When you're that good a player, you've got to be self-motivated to be that good and to win that many matches", said former No. 1 Hewitt as he prepared for Wimbledon. "He's able to do it, he's extremely mentally tough. You don't lose that. He's not going to lose that. I'm sure every time he gets on the court for the rest of his career he's going to be very hard to beat." Hewitt has not changed his own lifestyle too much, though the 28-year-old has been fighting to lift his game after summer hip surgery in 2008. And the Australian calls Federer a alight favourite for the Wimbledon crown after his french Open title. "He's in front", but you have to put Rafa (Nadal) second very close behind. Nadal's the defending champ. "What he did there last year (dramatic title win over Federer in the fifth set) has to be in the back of your mind, back of Roger's mind. Nadal's the only guy who's beaten Roger on grass for five or six years now". source _ _ _ _ _ yeah i agree with hewitt.. roger can be a daddy and a champion in the same time !! .. spicialy with mirka around him all the time .. and for wimbledon title .. i guess fedfed has the biggest chance .. what do you think ?

Wimbledon is awesome! There is no place like it in the world! ^.^” “ Nike came over this week and presented me with my new Wimbledon kit – check in tomorrow for a sneak preview of what I’ll be wearing this year during The Championships. “ Quote
Tezz_mission Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Roger about the Andy Murray hype in the media:"The [british] media seems to be making something of our recent matches," Federer ventured to the French-speaking press. "When I lost to him in Shanghai [at the Masters Cup in November 2008], for example, I was ill and suffering with my back, and I still almost beat him, so I'm not about to say that he's the best player in the world all of a sudden."(wimbledon.org) Quote
