what a wonderful human being. you just cant help falling in love with this truly cultured, elegant and charming champion. Hes an asset not just to tennis but to mankind
Watching this and knowing that I was one of those kids he met in 2004 back in Port Elizabeth, South Africa is one of the best moments I will forever cherish
@@razoo911 I knew his was big but didn't know how big he was at the time as we were being introduced to the sport. I remember being interviewed for a documentary for him but I have never seen it. I wish I could have taken the sport seriously.
Aryan Pushkar, McEnroe is one of the biggest Federer fans as well. He views Federer as the GOAT as well, so that hurts even more after knowing that one of the biggest Federer fans had to do the commentary of that match and said those words.
12:14 is one of the most touching things I have ever seen. Given who he is...the expression on his face...to let the boys run thier fingers through his hair. The way he caries him self. The way he brings honor to those around him. He never has a bad thing to say about anyone. And a word on his greatness. At 38 years old (+ or - a few weeks) he beat the number 2 player in the world and then went 6 sets with number 1 having match points against him. Spotting them both 5 or 6 years. Lets see how they are playing 5 or 6 years from now. Forget how many slams they end up having. Like me, there are 10's of millions of people who think Roger Federer is THE greatest athlete of all time and a supreme human being.
I so much love this man. It's beyond explanation beyond words. Wish he never retires. But up until that moment, let's just enjoy his grace and greatness.
We tend to easily associate his supreme talent with godliness and it definitely is! However the fact that he mentions his children don't know his ranking, that he tells his kids how great the others like Rafa and Stan are exemplifies him as a dad and a humble man! ever inspiring! Keep winning Roger !
blessed to witness Roger play tennis. I can't imagine any player in the future that can be such a blessing to tennis. You can't invent a better player for any sport.
I am so in love with him. Binge watching happy Fed content from the hangover of that brutal finals loss at Wimbly 19. He is most beautiful soul. Elegant, classy, graceful, humble...everything. I love you so much Roger. ♥️
Carl Federer I think you're right. Fed will keep on improvising and tweeking his game to contend for titles even when 40 if he stays healthy. He's just that good and tennis iq the best.
You think he got where he is just with talent?? His mental strength, athleticism, determination, resilience, etc. champion qualities are vastly underrated
Excellent interview - one intelligent person ( Carrillo ) asking another intelligent person ( Federer) relevant questions; makes for an enjoyable listen
So true! I love Carrillo's smarts. And listening to Roger's candid replies even better. Roger is so articulate in English, it's hard to believe it's not his first language! I'm trying to remember the last time I heard an American athlete express this well. Kudos to Carrillo for the good questions: a rare and truly interesting interview.
We all know his achievements on the court. Together with his off court endeavours and attributes which make him the greatest athlete of our time. I cannot identify another athlete who has been so dominant in their sport, yet lives a life null and void of scandals.
Such a classy guy and not only is he great on the court he is even greater as a person off the court. Life is governed by both consistency and appreciation. He has both in spades.
It’s taken two weeks for me to watch any of the wash up from the Wimbledon 19 final. Wow that one hurt so much but watching this makes me happy again. Aus open final 2017 was pretty Fkn awesome. He’s just so great in every way.
Wonderful relaxed interview. Mary kept smiling all the way through. Such joy. Boy he is a SUPERSTAR but you would never know it. We are so lucky to have watched this man develop over the years. And of course his tennis is virtually the most natural free flowing ever. Wonderful stuff.
Life is certainly not easy with 4 kids, on top is the highly competitive tennis career, an ageing body, adding up all these, still won 2 more Grand Slams, (so far) , Amazing, Super RF.
According to WTO or World Trade Organisation , Switzerland has the highest number of exports in the world in Chocolates and Watches. Toblerone , Rolex , Rado, On Shoes and many other companies which I haven't even heard of . Switzerland if I predict could be the world's largest economy .
As he ages I am amazed that in the past few years in all the torunaments he has delivered some unbelievable shots and when you put them together that repertoire wiltel not be ever be matched. He not only communicates with the tennis ball but with the spectators as well sharing his achievements to make them happy and communicate his own triumphs and sportsmen ship with the crowds who come to watch and return satisfied. Wish you many years
What a great interview,so interesting to hear his comments about his life away from tennis with his projects and his family. Roger is so inspiring as a person as well as the greatest ambassador for his sport,
I fear When Federer leaves Tennis, half of the fans will be gone (( he is that big for tennis! His emotions his passion for the game is huge. What a talent and a person:)
I'm a Fed fan since I was about 5 years old, and he's always been my favorite player, but even if he weren't I feel like I'd really like him as a person, because I see a lot of tennis fans, especially Nadal's, they don't see that it doesn't matter if you don't like Roger, he is a great man and we should all respect each other, same goes to Roger fans, we should stop fighting over who is the GOAT and just be thankfull that we get to see these champions playing.
I never had any heros I believed in totally coz I believe that different people have different great qualities. But he is one man who has truly exemplified the meaning of what a human being can be and what he can achieve.... The sadness, dissappointments and despair he initially faced made him into a great human being and model performer. I really admire him for the person he is and for his tennis I have no words....
I want to say only that the comments below are so insightful, touching and wonderful, all about a man who embodies these characteristics. Quick note about 2018 AO. I was fortunate enough to see the final, in which he defeated Cilic. Was still in Laver Stadium, in the corridor, drinking in what I had just experienced. There was an overhead announcement that Federer will meet with his fans in another court in the arena complex. I could barely hear where it was located but I ran there as fast as I could and made it. He made a statement and took some questions but by far the dominant theme was how much he appreciated and, I think it can honestly be said, loves his fans, not (or at most only partly) because they love him, but because he truly loves them. A beautiful, beautiful moment in my life. How often can you say that about anyone you don’t know personally? Almost never. Or never, except for this one very special human being.
It's an insult to both players to call it a rivalry. Federer finally has that kink worked out this year. He was only ever playing an opponent inside His own head. He generally played like shit against Nadal
So how is it not a rivalry? You can't say playing 38 times between two players with 20 slams and 17 slams over the time period of 15 years isn't a rivalry. It's a proper rivalry. Respect the two of them.
Great show. Would absolutely love to see more. Mary Carillo always has been a wonderful host, with great knowledge of our sport, being a champion herself! And ROGER, love that guy. I mean COME ON MAN!!!!!.... Talk about a man with a plan! Talk about inspiration and such a positive message. Did you guys feel that as well?? The calm and serenity of Roger's mind....... At his level of achievement to be able to do it because you freaking enjoy to be able to take it all in and have a blast beating the new guys. And And these young guns, they will be able to say that they've played Roger freaking Federer! I can hear them say: I almost had him....hahahhahaha. In your dreams fella!
I promised myself to go watch Federer on the upcoming A.O 2020... ive been here in Australia for years yet I never had the chance to see him. Oh God... im crying
I’m a Huge Novak fan but as a former competitive junior/college player I have enough respect for Roger to point out that he’s going to be like Tom Brady playing into his 40’s. He might even get to the point where he only plays just enough to qualify for slams. Roger is capable of catching lightning in a bottle over a 2 week period and winning a slam in his 40’s I believe. He’s the only player capable of missing 6 months and immediately winning a slam. Novak took a full season to get back to winning slams after injury. I’m a fan of Novak mostly because his style of play was similar to mine only WAY better. Although, If you played tennis seriously everybody wanted to play like Fed at some point, only it was a bad idea to try it because no one could pull it off. His game transcends pure athletics and there’s an undeniable element of artistic genius to it like he’s Da Vinci with a tennis racquet. That’s why he’s the Goat for me regardless of who ends up with more slams.
I recall an interview when Federer still hold World Record Number One,he has said:"Not come out there (Field) keep telling I am the Number One".And this Today was a real challenge,Federer will 'live' better,with this come back.Congratulations Federer,and your Top Number One Mirka.
vectorthurm yep... am I the only one who still has dreams about the alternative result in that game.. I wish he’d served down the centre line on match point. Novak was looking out wide.

what a wonderful human being. you just cant help falling in love with this truly cultured, elegant and charming champion. Hes an asset not just to tennis but to mankind
Couldn't have put it better, he's such a wonderful soul. Literally sending an order to the universe 😊
So true!
he sold his soul to Satan for money so no....... also he keeps his sexuality undercover. Google about him and Gavin Rossdale.

We are unbelievably lucky to be alive in this time to witness the life of Roger Federer. It is truly inspiring and legendary in all aspects.
Look around, look around, at how lucky we are to be alive right now!
You are right Mr Waqar .

I sure will miss this guy when he goes back to his planet.
haha this comment made me laugh and sad at the same time
His planet are the Swiss Alps !
best comment ever!! Thanks for the smile....
Excellent comment and made me smile .
“Just because you pay their salary, doesn’t mean you own them”!How true is this, just shows how good of a person he is
some of these major corporations should learn that
@@caddyshack68 Americans will never think like this.
The greatest ambassador the sport has ever had. A very remarkable human being.
The admiration in the interviewer's eyes for Fed!
I was looking for this comment, otherwise, I would write it down.
I was imagining myself interviewing him...
She grew up and was john mcenroes doubles partner and childhood friend so she knows genius when she sees it
He has always seemed to be really in touch with his inner child.
Well said. Very perceptive.
I think that is why he is so popular throughout the World.
when McEnroe said "Never had I ever expected to see a day like this"
My heart stopped :(
Aryan Pushkar, McEnroe is one of the biggest Federer fans as well. He views Federer as the GOAT as well, so that hurts even more after knowing that one of the biggest Federer fans had to do the commentary of that match and said those words.
@@lifeoftennis1285 McEnroe actually says Rafa is the GOAT
6:48 when Roger mentions about tennis and all top rivals as an extended family :)
that was nice
I teared up when he said that. That was the most humble comment and truly a hero in tennis.
yes that, i cried. a great man indeed. he is a man i look out for my son. nice

Here here friend.
Roger and Rafa. What a great rivalry and its even more amazing that they are friends. Two normal guys who happen to be extraordinary at Tennis.
Couldn’t agree more. Tennis is so lucky to have them at the same time. Have there ever been two rivals whose relationship remotely resembles theirs?
his parents must be so proud...
always humbling to watch and listen to Federer..
We tend to easily associate his supreme talent with godliness and it definitely is! However the fact that he mentions his children don't know his ranking, that he tells his kids how great the others like Rafa and Stan are exemplifies him as a dad and a humble man! ever inspiring! Keep winning Roger !
blessed to witness Roger play tennis. I can't imagine any player in the future that can be such a blessing to tennis. You can't invent a better player for any sport.
This guy it s something else... My man!
I am so in love with him. Binge watching happy Fed content from the hangover of that brutal finals loss at Wimbly 19. He is most beautiful soul. Elegant, classy, graceful, humble...everything. I love you so much Roger. ♥️
Hush That’s exactly what I’ve wanted to say for the last two days but couldn’t find the words. I’ve been doing the same.😊😂😍 Thank you!!
14 years watching amazing tennis from #RF.. one man, one sport, beyond Glory. King Fed
For me it's 14 years this year; and it's not enough and never will be.
It doesn´t matter how old he is, even at 40 he can win a Grand Slam
He´s just too talanted
G.O.A.T
Carl Federer I think you're right. Fed will keep on improvising and tweeking his game to contend for titles even when 40 if he stays healthy. He's just that good and tennis iq the best.
Yes, I believe that to be true. No ordinary champion, Mr. Roger Federer; Words don't suffice.
He's really going to have to work hard for 21, but you can never count him out at the fast slams in Australia and Wimbledon
All he needs is to remain focused and don't fall to the pressure. The game is there, is only some mental flaws and insecurities luring.
You think he got where he is just with talent?? His mental strength, athleticism, determination, resilience, etc. champion qualities are vastly underrated
Excellent interview - one intelligent person ( Carrillo ) asking another intelligent person ( Federer) relevant questions; makes for an enjoyable listen

i think we could have figured out who you meant, without the hints 😂
21:31 'shame on all of us' .... perfectly put
A special man. This guy has it all.
Roger is GOAT for 302 weeks at#1
without any grass court masters to 3 for clay AND
not skipping a single major for SIXTEEN years.
For the surgeon who operated on Roger's knee: no pressure :P
Novak and his father are the other 2.
Hahaha
Roger is arguably the most complete sportsman of our time.
I agree it is always a pleasure to hear from this very special G OAT.
Mary Carillo is fantastic and Fed is simply amazing... what a great interview.... thanks for sharing
We all know his achievements on the court. Together with his off court endeavours and attributes which make him the greatest athlete of our time. I cannot identify another athlete who has been so dominant in their sport, yet lives a life null and void of scandals.
his honesty is his biggest strength. he never searches for answers. what a guy
What a legend and top bloke
When this man hangs up his racquet, I tell you: it will be one of the saddest days in sports history.
He is not only an inspiration for Tennis players but also for the entire Mankind!!! ❤️🙏🏼
the way mary looks at him are our goals
the perfect athlete
The peRFect athlete.
Every word he speaks is so Perfect..🤗.
Indeed a great man 👏👏
I wish I could see him in real 😔
The moment itself becomes perfect whenever Roger play's or talks.
When the kids were feeling his hair😂😂 Me too, kids, me too.😍
Such a classy guy and not only is he great on the court he is even greater as a person off the court. Life is governed by both consistency and appreciation. He has both in spades.

Behind a great champion is great character that's for sure..!
Federer is such a good speaker....especially in English.
Love how Federer spoke about being polite and courteous. Shows the things he values and explains his unbelievable success
The greatest of all time 😎
The fact that he never retire during matches is unbelievable work ethic. He retired all his matches completed. Wow!
damn ! the interview got over in a flash for me.
R F u r just legend i wish i could see ur match live.
R F
it is wonderful knowing such humility thank you
Pleaaaase let 2020 be over already and lets see Roger back in 2021. Cant wait
Seems to be just as gracious of a person as he is as good of a tennis player. I believe his parents did a tremendous job!
Thank you for posting!

This kind of professional interview is worth watching. Waiting for interviews of other top players too..We can learn a thing or two watching them
I like all in the world, " love & admire Roger Federer" A true genius forever a CHAMPION!!!
Hes the best of the best. Cant wait to see him next month at Wimbledon. He says it's his final.appearance
Mirka is the best thing to happen to Federer

I want to say only that the comments below are so insightful, touching and wonderful, all about a man who embodies these characteristics. Quick note about 2018 AO. I was fortunate enough to see the final, in which he defeated Cilic. Was still in Laver Stadium, in the corridor, drinking in what I had just experienced. There was an overhead announcement that Federer will meet with his fans in another court in the arena complex. I could barely hear where it was located but I ran there as fast as I could and made it. He made a statement and took some questions but by far the dominant theme was how much he appreciated and, I think it can honestly be said, loves his fans, not (or at most only partly) because they love him, but because he truly loves them.

I want to see him back playing exibition match or other can't stop seeing playing tennis. An extraordinary down to earth genius
I’m a Huge Novak fan but as a former competitive junior/college player I have enough respect for Roger to point out that he’s going to be like Tom Brady playing into his 40’s. He might even get to the point where he only plays just enough to qualify for slams. Roger is capable of catching lightning in a bottle over a 2 week period and winning a slam in his 40’s I believe. He’s the only player capable of missing 6 months and immediately winning a slam. Novak took a full season to get back to winning slams after injury. I’m a fan of Novak mostly because his style of play was similar to mine only WAY better. Although, If you played tennis seriously everybody wanted to play like Fed at some point, only it was a bad idea to try it because no one could pull it off. His game transcends pure athletics and there’s an undeniable element of artistic genius to it like he’s Da Vinci with a tennis racquet. That’s why he’s the Goat for me regardless of who ends up with more slams.
