00:02

[Interviewer] Okay. There he is.

00:05

Just two days before Wimbledon.

00:07

This is so crazy.

00:08

Should I just interrupt him?

00:09

I mean, there’s so many rules here.

00:11

I’m not sure.

00:11

Okay. Here we go.

00:13

Roger.

00:14

Hey.

00:15

How you doing, Joe?

00:16

[Interviewer] I’m doing great.

00:16

Thanks for making the time to slip in

00:18

[Interviewer] Of course. A quick 73

00:19

question interview.

00:20

Not gonna miss it.

00:21

[Interviewer] This is gonna be great.

00:22

So, how are you feelin’ about the tournament?

00:24

Feeling great.

00:24

So happy that it’s Wimbledon time again.

00:26

I love this place.

00:27

[Interviewer] Good.

00:28

Can you walk me through how you start your days right now?

00:30

It’s pretty relaxed, actually.

00:32

It’s all about recovery and coming

00:34

into the tournament with loads of energy.

00:37

That’s my plan.

00:38

[Interviewer] Okay. Can you show me

00:38

what makes a perfect serve?

00:39

Okay. Perfect serve is,

00:42

I think it’s all in the toss, really.

00:44

It’s the only shot we actually do control.

00:45

Everything else, we have to react to the opponents.

00:48

So, here we go.

00:49

Up, jump, hope it lands in [laughs].

00:52

[Interviewer] You make it look pretty easy.

00:54

All right. Can you demonstrate an extremely

00:55

difficult and technical thing I probably won’t understand?

00:59

Maybe overhead on the backhand side.

01:01

It hardly ever happens,

01:02

and when it does you lunge back, jump up,

01:05

can’t see the opponent anymore,

01:07

you try to connect and you hope for the best.

01:09

[Interviewer] Okay, what do you consider

01:10

to be your signature shot?

01:12

My slice, maybe my forehand.

01:14

[Interviewer] And, why do you have a two handed backhand?

01:17

‘Cause all my heroes had one-handers,

01:20

so I had no choice.

01:21

[Interviewer] Do you get attached to your racket?

01:24

I do. I love my racket and it’s the extension of my arm

01:28

and it does all the magic for me,

01:30

so, yeah.

01:31

[Interviewer] All right.

01:32

Now, what’s your favorite part about playing at Wimbledon?

01:35

It’s history and tradition.

01:38

[Interviewer] And, how would you describe

01:38

playing at center court?

01:40

It’s, I think, a dream come true

01:42

for every tennis player to play there.

01:44

[Interviewer] Can we check it out?

01:45

Let’s go.

01:46

[Interviewer] All right, great, and whoa.

01:48

I am destroying you at tennis

01:50

on that scoreboard right there.

01:51

What is going on?

01:53

[laughs]

01:54

what have you done?

01:55

And why are you asking questions

01:57

and then playing at Wimbledon?

01:59

[laughs]

01:59

[Interviewer] Does your family

02:00

have any nicknames for you?

02:01

Yeah, they call me Rog

02:03

and in Swiss German, Rogi.

02:04

[Interviewer] Hey, what’s the most Swiss thing about you?

02:08

That I’m a choc-o-holic, if that’s something.

02:10

[Interviewer] [laughs] yes, it is, okay.

02:11

What languages do you speak?

02:13

I speak Swiss German, German, English and French.

02:16

[Interviewer] Do you have any favorite expressions

02:17

in these languages?

02:18

I like allez, in French,

02:21

Come on, in English,

02:22

and chum jetzt, in Swiss German,

02:24

on the tennis court.

02:25

[Interviewer] We have some ball boys and ball girls.

02:26

Hey. How’s everything? All good?

02:29

Nice to see you all.

02:30

[Interviewer] Hey, guys.

02:30

And they’re having strawberries and cream.

02:32

You want one?

02:34

Um, sure.

02:35

[Interviewer] Roger, what’s up with

02:36

the strawberries and cream here?

02:37

I dunno. It’s a Wimbledon thing.

02:39

[Interviewer] Okay.

02:40

What is it? Do you know?

02:42

[Children] Tradition.

02:43

Tradition.

02:43

[Interviewer] Now, I heard you started your career

02:44

as a ball boy. Is that right?

02:46

Yes, I was like them.

02:47

I was about 12 years old in my hometown of Basel.

02:51

I did it for two years. It was great. I loved it.

02:53

[Interviewer] How many hours a day at age 12

02:54

were you playing?

02:56

Two hours every second day, I’d say.

02:59

[Interviewer] Wow, versus how many hours today?

03:02

Between zero and four. I gotta save my energy sometimes.

03:06

[laughs]

03:07

[Interviewer] Who was your tennis idol growing up?

03:09

Boris Becker, Stefan Edberg, and Pete Sampras.

03:12

[Interviewer] When did you first realize

03:13

you were really, really good at tennis?

03:15

Well, in the juniors I thought I was good

03:17

and then, when I beat Pete Sampras here in 2001,

03:21

I felt like I knew I was good.

03:23

It’s so wrong to say that. Oh, my God.

03:25

[Interviewer] Now, is it true your mom was a tennis coach?

03:26

Yeah, a little bit.

03:27

She didn’t really coach me though.

03:28

[Interviewer] Okay, well what’s the best piece of advice

03:30

that she gave you?

03:31

Never let the ball bounce twice.

03:34

[Interviewer] Oh, okay. Makes sense.

03:35

[Interviewer] So simple, right? yeah

03:36

Just run after that ball all the time.

03:38

[Interviewer] Sure. Just like a dog.

03:39

[Interviewer] And, what advice

03:40

would you give these guys here?

03:43

Love your tennis, but then work hard

03:46

and what else can I tell you guys?

03:48

Dream big, you know, sometimes we don’t dream big enough

03:51

that it’s possible because we think

03:52

there is barriers and stuff.

03:54

You gonna go for it and do it full on.

03:56

[Interviewer] That’s wonderful advice.

03:58

See ya later guys. Take care. Nice to see you.

04:00

[Interviewer] Roger, grass or clay?

04:01

Grass, of course.

04:02

[Interviewer] Forehand or backhand?

04:04

Forehand.

04:05

[Interviewer] Spin or flat?

04:06

Spin.

04:07

[Interviewer] What TV show are you obsessed

04:08

with at the moment?

04:09

None, really.

04:11

I used to love Prison Break.

04:13

That was so cool.

04:14

[Interviewer] Who’s your style icon?

04:15

Tom Ford.

04:16

[Interviewer] What are you wearing

04:17

when you’re feeling your best?

04:20

I mean, a suit’s good,

04:21

but a bathing suit and a T-shirt on a beach somewhere.

04:25

[Interviewer] What’s the most memorable

04:25

that you’ve ever worn?

04:27

Met Gala, I wore a tuxedo from Gucci

04:30

with at diamond encrusted sort of a cobra on the back.

04:33

That was pretty sick.

04:34

[Interviewer] What do you do on your off days?

04:38

Nothing. I just take it easy.

04:39

Run around with the kids.

04:40

Hey. Roger,

04:41

[both speak foreign language]

04:44

[Interviewer] What’s the best fashion advice

04:45

you’ve ever received?

04:47

You wear the clothes, not the clothes wear you.

04:50

And, Anna once told me

04:53

when I asked her if I should wear the dark suit

04:56

or the light suit for the evening,

04:57

she said, The dark suit, of course, Roger.

04:59

I was like, of course.

05:01

[Interviewer] That’s pretty good advice, right?

05:03

Anna knows best.

05:04

[Interviewer] What’s something about yourself

05:05

that you think a lot of people wouldn’t know?

05:08

I dunno.

05:10

I feel like I’ve done so many interviews,

05:12

I really feel like people know everything by now.

05:14

[Interviewer] All right, now, you have identical twins.

05:17

Now, be honest with me, do you ever get them confused?

05:20

I used to sometimes,

05:21

if I couldn’t see their face right away,

05:23

but no, nowadays I’m a pro of course.

05:25

I can tell them apart.

05:26

[Interviewer] What lessons have you learned

05:27

from your kids?

05:29

Patience and snuggling again.

05:31

It’s been the best.

05:32

[Interviewer] That’s so sweet.

05:33

And, what do you hope your kids learn from you?

05:35

Everything. I want to teach them everything I know

05:37

and more.

05:38

I love them so much.

05:39

[Interviewer] That’s wonderful.

05:40

All right.

05:41

Hello, nice to see you.

05:43

[Interviewer] Roger, out of all of the places

05:44

you play in the world, what’s the craziest location?

05:46

I played on the Jungfraujoch,

05:49

top of Europe, in Switzerland, a mountain,

05:51

with Lindsey Vonn.

05:52

And, I guess center court, Wimbledon, of course.

05:54

[Interviewer] And, here we are in the clubhouse.

05:56

We finally made it.

05:57

I can’t believe I’m here right now.

05:59

Hey, look at the trophies.

06:00

This is the one.

06:01

[Interviewer] Roger, get right next to that.

06:02

Look at that. So good.

06:03

So beautiful.

06:04

So close, so far [laughs].

06:07

[Interviewer] And you have eight of these things.

06:08

Yeah, I do.

06:09

[Interviewer] Where do you keep all of ’em?

06:10

I have a big trophy cabinet at home,

06:12

but we always have space for one more,

06:13

I tell you that [laughs].

06:14

[Interviewer] I can imagine.

06:16

What Wimbledon tradition do you look forward to the most?

06:19

I think it’s wonderful to have the center court

06:23

be opened up by the defending champion

06:25

at 1:00 on Monday.

06:27

[Interviewer] Do you remember the first professional

06:29

tournament you played?

06:30

Of course. Gstaad in ’98 after I won the junior’s here

06:33

actually at Wimbledon the week before.

06:36

[Interviewer] Wow.

06:36

What’s the most surprising moment in your career?

06:40

Surprising moment.

06:41

I truly believe becoming world #1 and winning all

06:44

the titles that I did is crazier than any dream

06:47

I ever had about my career.

06:48

I never thought I was gonna be this successful.

06:50

[Interviewer] What’s your most prize memorabilia?

06:52

The net of my 2009 Wimbledon final

06:56

against my good friend, Andy Roddick.

06:58

[Interviewer] There you go.

06:59

Would you consider tennis your favorite sport to watch?

07:02

Yes, and football and basketball.

07:04

I love basketball. It’s cool.

07:05

[Interviewer] And, growing up,

07:06

you also played soccer, right?

07:07

I did.

07:08

[Interviewer] What made you choose tennis over soccer?

07:12

I didn’t wanna blame the goalie, in all honesty.

07:15

I wanted to blame myself.

07:16

Maybe that is what made me pick tennis.

07:18

Thankfully, I did.

07:19

[Interviewer] What’s the biggest challenge

07:20

as an athlete that you didn’t appreciate

07:22

when you started?

07:23

I was incredibly homesick in the beginning.

07:27

Jet lag and all the interviews.

07:29

Couldn’t trust journalists in the beginning

07:31

and then, little by little I actually started

07:33

enjoying interviews.

07:34

That’s why I’m talking to you right now [laughs].

07:36

[Interviewer] I’m so lucky to be here.

07:37

And, Roger, how do you want to be remembered?

07:40

As a good guy for tennis.

07:42

Philanthropic and good tennis player, maybe, I dunno.

07:46

[Interviewer] Now, I’ve been told that you

07:47

enjoy ice cream before a match.

07:49

Is that right?

07:50

What? Pre-match ice cream?

07:52

I’ll have loads afterwards, but not before.

07:54

[laughs]

07:55

[Interviewer] And here’s a wall of champions.

07:56

Oh.

07:57

[Interviewer] Ah, that’s a lot of Federer right there.

07:59

Yeah.

08:00

Almost takes up half of the space,

08:01

but in 2019 you’re gonna wanna make it

08:03

what? Nine times on this board, right?

08:05

Yes. Eight’s great.

08:07

It’s actually my favorite number,

08:08

but nine has a better sound to it [laughs].

08:11

[Interviewer] Now, can you point to the win

08:12

that was the most memorable?

08:15

2003.

08:15

[Interviewer] Why?

08:16

It was my first one.

08:17

[Interviewer] There you go.

08:18

It’s like I thought that was it.

08:19

I achieved my dream, winning Wimbledon.

08:23

It was epic.

08:24

[Interviewer] And, I heard that they engrave these

08:25

pretty quickly when you win?

08:26

Yes, apparently, even the trophy.

08:28

So, you hold it up in the air,

08:30

and it’s already got your trophy engraved

08:32

and you walk out of this court that you win

08:34

just back here, look to your right, and bang,

08:37

winner 2019 and the name.

08:39

[Interviewer] Can you actually tell me something

08:40

really quick about Mr. Rafael Nadal?

08:43

What would you like to know?

08:44

He’s an intense guy on the court.

08:46

He’s super honest and open off the court

08:48

and he’s got a heart of gold.

08:50

He’s also gonna help me with my foundation

08:52

again next year.

08:53

We’re gonna try to break the record

08:55

for most attendance in Cape Town

08:59

in South Africa for my foundation.

09:00

I’m so looking forward to it

09:01

so thank you Rafael.

09:02

[Interviewer] Amazing.

09:03

Now, I sense center court is right behind these doors

09:04

over here, right? It is.

09:05

Wanna have a look?

09:06

[Interviewer] Let’s take a look.

09:07

All right, let’s go.

09:08

[Interviewer] All right.

09:09

Hopefully, it’s everything that I hoped and dreamed.

09:11

Here we go. After you.

09:13

[Interviewer] This is so cool.

09:15

Roger, do you have any pre-match rituals

09:17

or superstitions?

09:18

I am not superstitious at all actually, funny enough.

09:22

[Interviewer] What kind of music would you

09:22

probably be listening to before a match?

09:25

I don’t usually,

09:26

but maybe something relaxing, funny enough.

09:28

[Interviewer] And the grand moment.

09:29

This is incredible.

09:31

Wow, look at this.

09:32

So nice.

09:33

[Interviewer] What do you say to yourself

09:34

before you walk on this grass?

09:37

C’mon Rog, you got this. Go for it. Enjoy it.

09:42

Let’s go.

09:43

[Interviewer] Do you think I could walk

09:44

out on the grass with you?

09:46

I mean, for me it’s okay,

09:47

but maybe you gotta ask Neil.

09:50

Uh, no.

09:52

[Interviewer] What’s your favorite memory

09:52

of playing here?

09:56

Winning my first Wimbledon,

09:57

or maybe beating Pete Sampras here in 2001.

10:02

[Interviewer] Okay, Roger you’re here.

10:03

It’s match point.

10:04

What is that experience like?

10:06

You hear a pin drop

10:09

when you’re about to serve.

10:12

Nobody’s talking, it’s amazing.

10:13

You hear a cough, maybe

10:14

and then the crowd erupts when you win the point.

10:19

[Interviewer] Who was the first person

10:20

you look out for in the crowd?

10:22

I wanna feel the vibe,

10:23

see how into it the crowd is,

10:26

how much they’re into it,

10:26

and then I check my team,

10:30

if they’re all seated already maybe,

10:31

and umpire and opponent, you know.

10:35

[Interviewer] And you have stiff competition.

10:37

Who’s the player that you dread playing the most?

10:40

Raf Nadal.

10:41

[Interviewer] Who’s your favorite player

10:41

to play against?

10:44

Raf Nadal.

10:45

[laughs]

10:45

[Interviewer] And who do you want a re-match with?

10:47

Maybe Del Potro, U.S. Open Final in 2009.

10:51

[Interviewer] You have a strategy called fire and ice.

10:53

What does this mean?

10:55

So, I think you gotta have fire in the belly

10:58

wanting to win every point.

11:00

You give it your absolute best.

11:01

And, ice in the veins, for me

11:03

is basically you’re so focused

11:05

in the most important moments,

11:07

you are so calm and composed,

11:09

that’s what it is.

11:10

[Interviewer] Prepping for a first round match

11:11

versus prepping for a final match, what changes?

11:15

Well, there should be none,

11:16

but sometimes you get a bit nervous, you do.

11:20

[Interviewer] So, how nervous do you get before matches?

11:24

I think it’s the amount of butterflies you feel

11:26

in the belly that makes a difference.

11:28

[Interviewer] Mental exhaustion or physical,

11:29

what’s harder to overcome?

11:31

I’d say mental.

11:32

Just as hard to sometimes be picked up.

11:34

It’s not always easy to stay positive.

11:36

[Interviewer] Serving volley or power baseline?

11:39

A bit of both.

11:40

[Interviewer] Footwork or strokes,

11:41

which is harder to nail?

11:44

Footwork is easier to perfect.

11:47

I feel like strokes are maybe more talent involved.

11:50

[Interviewer] And last question, Roger,

11:52

question number 73,

11:53

how does surviving Bear Grylls

11:54

compare to surviving Wimbledon?

11:55

[laughs]

11:57

A bit different.

11:58

Bear Grylls show I did freeze and I peed over the fire.

12:04

I didn’t do that here at Wimbledon

12:06

and Bear Grylls was actually sitting over there

12:08

in the Royal Box with the Royals attending the finals

12:12

and my team was sitting over there with my lovely wife,

12:14

a wonderful moment.

12:15

[Interviewer] All right.

12:16

Well, that concludes the interview

12:17

and I’m gonna leave with a message

12:18

from a special guest, here she is now.

12:22

[Anna] Hello, Roger, this is Anna.

12:24

Good luck at Wimbledon

12:26

and now back to those practice courts.

12:29

Thank you Anna.

12:31

How did she do that?

12:32

Is she here?

12:33

[laughs]

12:34

[Interviewer] Thanks Roger.

12:35

Okay.
