Roger Federer looks ahead to the Australian Open and emotionally recalls the influence his former coach Peter Carter had on his early tennis career. #CNN #News
scollin Andy Murray is another really great player. Love the respect my favorite players have toward each other. Roger and Murray they call the feminist because are always in their fighting for equal rights for women in tennis. Roger was born in South Africa and I watch it’s charity tournaments that he has for them and the players that always show up to help so funny every year.
@@trumpameri1638 Novak is a good guy. Rabid fans like you aren’t. This is the completely wrong place to make comments like this. Just not even relevant to the video bro. At least have some common sense
@@amanmaheshwari5830 really? Lots of people have lost the AO and most have given a graceful speech that had some class. Nadal lost the longest game ever against Djokovic. Medvedev lost too. Classy speeches. No tantrums.
@@ABRAHAMzXtremeGT Mujo, ne rise indijancu jedan. Sto bi morao voleti Federera, sjajan je igrac.. i dalje najbolji svih vremena ali karakter mi nije po volji. Pusti druge da razmisljaju kako zele, da necu da navijam za Rodzera pored zivog Novaka iz mog grada!?
@@fraupurzel sono una grandissimo tifoso di Roger e ogni tanto torno a guardare questo video perché mi fa commuovere. E ho colto l'occasione per fare una battuta che in fondo è solo di spirito.. Magari banale.. Ma sicuramente fatta perché se ne possa sorridere
She looks really sincere and down to earth the way she goes about the interview ... no air of "I'm the professional" hubris here ... Thats the kind of reporter/interviewer we need to have more of .... Hope she does not change her personality ...
@@stervenmealey1097 it might indeed but just considering the emotional video and the comment of Dark Place that i found really nice, Amanda made a comment which wasn't really nice, believing or not. i don't wanna make a fuss or something but her comment was a bit lacking of sensitivity in my opinion
Even worse, he died on his honeymoon after the amazing news that his wife was cancer-free. They did it to celebrate. It was Roger's idea since his mother is South African and has many fond memories there. He blames himself even though nothing is his fault. It's so touching how kind-hearted and humble Roger is and how he wears his emotions on his sleeve when not on the court.
Yes he's a humble man with great talent at this age as well reason being if u see at his age almost all tennis players have retired and still in late 30'S he still plays the finest one
I'm not a tennis fan. But I'm a Roger Federer fan. You know someone is a genius when they make you sit down and not want to miss a second of a game in a sport you don't even follow.
Yeah.... His whole experience in that particular sport tells abt that.... Such a wonderful player and great HUMANBEING..... Hope for inspiring many people.....
He is the demonstration that it is possible to be on the spotlight as one of the greatest competitors of all time and still remain the same honest and sensitive person he's always been. I guess it's kind of rare to survive this kind of celebrity as a human being. He must have had the best entourage one could dream of.
@@ave-6130 really? I'd eliminate the boxers and basketball players on the basis of the participation rates in the sports being so low worldwide. Then really it's just a question of Messi and Ronaldo... and for me Federer edges it based on the fact it's a solo sport and both the above have played their entire careers in top level teams.
@Dawei Zhao possibly.. basketball is big, it just seems so focussed one one league worldwide vs football (soccer) for example. I don't think most people would have somebody like LeBron anywhere near their top 5 athletes? It's a really difficult to define "greatness" though... does it go beyond being the best? If so Ali, Jordan etc definitely have their place. Mike Tyson was a straight up joke though haha.
vlad majorally you cant really be a plastic fan in tennis. In football you like a team not a person, that is plastic. In tennis a person is your team therefore not plastic.
A man who understands how fortunate he is but at the same time confident, but not overconfident in realizing how talented he is. I used to enjoy watching anyone play tennis before Federer. After the last 15 years I'm not sure I want to watch anyone else play tennis after he hangs it up. Whether he's the GOAT, I don't know, but to me my favorite athlete ever.
I watch this again just after he was ousted by Hurkacz in straight sets from Wimbledon. No matter what, who or whatever comes to reign the tennis world; he’ll always be my favourite and best tennis player.
Probably one of the most talented but at the same time most humble humans on earth, I've never met anyone, famous or not, as humble as Roger, while still having a lot to brag about if he wanted to. Simply incredible ❤️
I totally echo that exact same thought. Doesn't matter who the goat is. Everyone would say it's Djokovic now but there will come a day when Djokovic will face a nemesis. And cycle rolls on. But Federer remains in an untouchable spot in my heart. When he loses my heart drops. Him retiring is unthinkable. He will always remain my most favourite tennis player of all time.
This man deserves all he has, i know is obvious, but not everyone reaching his success is able to mantain this very humble behavior on and out the court.
Here after Roger's retirement... man would Peter be proud! Roger will always remain a Legend on and off the court! Thanks for a truly inspiring career! ❤️
You can still see the innocent and pure child in his eyes when he expresses his emotions so raw and genuine like he does here. This is the catalyst of his magic for sure. Being a man with a heart of a child is truly an art of fulfillment and he’s all about it!. 🙏❤️. I’m sure his former coach is extremely proud wherever he may be.
And THAT is why i like Federer, he fully recognizes he's been so, so LUCKY with his circumstance in life. He doesn't, like many rich people, ascribe it as Destiny.
@@paulking5199 There are MILLIONS of people who work as hard as Federer, but since they have to walk 10 miles each day to get water because the US airforce has bombed their original village, they won''t make millions. So, no: that was REALLY NOT what I was talking about. Some people think that poor people MOSTLY only have to blame themselves for their poverty. Because admitting that they don't would require THEM to give up some of their wealth. Which, out of greed, some people won't do. Are you one of those people?
He just retired.... I came to rewatch this video because when i saw this interview 3 years back i was like i am gonna cry so much the day this legend retire... And yeah i cried!!!!!! I am sure every sports lover did.
I just saw him play Djokovic in Wimbledon. Quite a match, which Djokovic won. But what a champion Federer is, almost 38 and still fighting for every ball. I salute him.
Tina Tini Don’t be rude, yeah we all have a right to our opinions and which tennis players we like but Roger Federer worked just as hard as Novak so we respect and salute them both.
Tina Tini: You imply that Federer hasn't worked as hard as, and isn't as good as, Djokovic. You need to educate yourself and know the facts before you make such a baseless, stupid comment. Federer didn't get where he is by not working hard. He's hugely talented, hard working, successful, famous to the point that even people who don't follow tennis know who he is - and he's still humble, grounded and immensely likeable. As successful as Djokovic is, the same can't be said of him. He can be incredibly arrogant, nasty (as in when he berates his 'team' in their box when he plays a match that isn't going his way and he's making lots of mistakes!) and his obsession with trying to be as popular as players such as Federer and Nadal is pretty pathetic. He'll never achieve that kind of popularity and no amount of money or fake gestures, such as his celebratory routine at the end of matches that he wins, can buy that.
@@leicestergirl63 You might also want to brush up on your judgemental notes as well. ALL three of them are a generation that will hardly be repeated in the years to come. And for some of us, Djokovic was what Federer or Nadal were for others. He also had to work extra hard to win the respect Federer naturally enjoyed, not to mention constant matches when it feels like no one's on his side. I'm not saying he hadn't made mistakes, but he definitely matured so much and is a great role model to many. So please, be careful on disrespectful comments, seems like you're also seeing only the side of the story you want to.
Spot on Bro! sometimes I used to think that US Open, English & French fans get to be rude towards Novak. But Honesty, they can't all behave this way by coincidence nor out of spite. Roger is a magician that captured the majority of Tennis fans hearts. as for Djokovic, he is one hell of a mental fortress & athleticism... but it's pathetic to see such a champion trying too hard to be liked. it can be forced nor bought for sure.
Wow. Man you are really lucky. He is my hero and my favourite personality and if i get a wish to meet somebody then my answer would be ROGER FEDERER ❤️
@@__jan6113 He has a great game but that isn't enough to become a champion you need to want to play for the record books. Nick is happy to play for fame and money.
Sammy abrams yeah came to know about that few days ago. Now I am disappointed with his attitude towards Tennis considering he admires Roger and yet not taking the game seriously when having both talent and opportunity to show it.
Wow when he started crying it hit me instantly. Rodger you are the best tennis player EVER! in my opinion.. When you retire I will cry. Your dad is super proud you have made the world proud. Your talent is unbelievable. You got nothing left to prove. G.O.A.T
Guess the death of his coach is the reason why he is the greatest cause at this point he train harder and harder to show it that he can become more than just a talent
Believe it or not, but Federer threw many tantrums back in the day (like Kygrios), and greatly struggled with his mental problems and his own attitude. He frequently threw his racquet, unable to control his temper on the court, which was mainly responsible for him falling short in the grand slams. He was quite a spoilt brat back then. However, Peter Carter's death, which occurred in 2002, shocked him into maturity, and changed his career as well as the history of tennis forever. As a result of this tragic event, Federer immediately changed his attitude. He then blazed through his opponents without showing any signs of mental fragility, all the way to his first grand slam, which is what we have come to see from him over the years :) If this had not happened, Federer would have likely gone down as an angry prodigy who failed to fulfill his potential, much like Tomic.
This Man has a beautiful Soul. Probably one of the most loveable, down to earth players we've ever seen. I don't often watch Tennis, but I watch Roger Federer.
I know it's a long shot but a big part of me wants him to win gold at the Summer Olympics next year in Tokyo.... would be en epic ending to an amazing career.
Seeing Roger cry almost made me cry 😭 I've not been watching tennis for very long at all but I love this guy and hope for only the best for him. He's accomplished so much and will be remembered for generations ✊
The Godfather do not try to be over smart !!!!he didn’t mention abt how long he would be inconsolable... he just mentioned that he would be inconsolable when he retires....
I can't stop my tears coming out from my eyes, EVERY SINGLE TIME I watch this video. The KING is such humble, such an incredible person/human being. Thank you for being like this, for being a HUGE example to follow and to inspire to the future generations. Thank you very much Roger. Always in my mind and in my heart. And of course, thanks to Peter, he did his part to made him one of the GOATS of this wonderful sport.
I didn’t even knew who is Roger Federer. I had just randomly heard a name “Federer” from my 13 years old brother who was playing a tennis game while feeling bored. And I scolded him a year back that you don’t even know who is he, from where he belongs, don’t you know how to play tennis, you just have learnt a name and you’re pronouncing it again and again just to show off that you’ve interest in tennis.... And then we laughed so hard that we don’t even know how to play tennis A year after, yesterday, when I was randomly scrolling on RU-vid, this video came up and a random thought came that may be he’s the man of whom we used to make fun I clicked the video and after these three minutes, I thought that how can I be this much senseless and judgemental without knowing anyone He’s a gem!!!! A Real Man who has been dedicated, hardworking and passionate throughout his career!!!! Sorry Roger!!!! I was wrong.... You Won My Heart♥️ I haven’t watched tennis ever, but I would love to watch you playing.... Such A Pure And Classy Soul You’re!!!!🙌🏻♥️
There will never be another Roger, he is so special as a player, a person for younger players to look up to, a great competitor and as a sensitive man who is tough on the court but always such a gentleman.
His unwavering passion for family, friends, philanthropy, tennis... is deep, admirable and endearing. It's what has defined both he and his game. So appreciative Roger is still enjoying the game we all enjoy watching him play. Humble and amazing man and athlete.
Allison Elizabeth did you know that his parents live with him and his wife and kids?? He had this house built a home in Switzerland made of all glass. Crazy
Peter carter made RF cry. RF cry made me cry. My cry made my mom cry. She doesn't even know what tennis is- a sport or movie, still tears came.. What a Legend!!!! Take a bow
One of the greatest athletes the world has ever seen. And now he’s the most famous athlete in recent history to announce his retirement. The most elegant player. Truly a legend. Will be deeply missed in grand slam tennis.
Roger Federer is for me the biggest inspiration human on Earth. He's such a great Tennis player and so thankful for everything. A Real Sportsman, friend ... U cant describe how great he is!
I love everything about Roger, he’s not only arguably the greatest tennis player of all time, he’s a genuine guy and people know that and appreciate him on and off the court.His love for the sport together with his incredible talent and work ethic is what makes him unique and invaluable and will become the ambassador for tennis for years to come, long after he retires from professional competition. Go Roger!
