Federer not comfortable with tennis for his daughters

Roger Federer who is in love with tennis even after nearly two decades said he may not be that keen to follow his children if they ever turned professional. He made these remarks after storming into the third round of the Australian Open on Wednesday. 

The 34-yearold overcame some feisty second set resistance from Alexandr Dolgopolov before he ran away with the match 6-3 7-5 6-1 courtesy of a superb service game. 

He will next play Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov on Friday “It’s been going very well for me, and I hope to keep it up as long as I choose to play tennis,” the 17-times grand slam winner told reporters. 

Federer said while he was still in love with the sport t, he may resist the idea of following any of his four children if they turned professional. Federer, who has six year-old twin daughters Myla Rose and Charlene Riva and twin boys Leo and Lennart, who were born in May 2014, said he had encouraged his daughters to take tennis lessons for reasons other than carving out a potential career.

“I will support them all the way whatever they want to do, but I’d rather support them in another sport. Go see them be a super skier. That would be exciting. “To go watch tennis matches, I don’t know,” he laughed.
