“I've had breakfast at 12, lunch at 5pm and dinner at 11pm,” Federer laughed. “It's shifted over. You have to be used to this when you're a tennis player. It's been very quiet. I'm going to bed really late like I did in Australia at two in the morning and waking up at 11 or 12. So it's a different schedule. I'm not doing a whole lot more than making sure I have an easy week with a lot of sleep. I think it's important in cold weather to make sure you sleep and stretch enough and warm up correctly for the matches.”

Lunch at 5pm anyone? That's the kind of routine Federer's been forced to keep this week due to the pressures of the media commitments that come with being the greatest player of all time. Federer's been struggling to fit it all in this week - practising, dealing with the press as well as fulfilling his commitments in terms of promoting the tournament. It hasn't helped that he's been scheduled in the night session for each of his matches so far, meaning he doesn't get to sleep till gone midnight.

Вместо жалоб, что его морозят на предтурнирных мероприятиях, ставят играть только в ночную смену - он улыбается (!) и говорит: к этому надо привыкнуть, если ты теннисист.
Воистину, либо он не от мира сего, либо другие не теннисисты.

Roger Federer has been forced to keep an unusual routine this week as a result of his commitments at ATP Rotterdam.

Lunch at 5pm anyone? That's the kind of routine Federer's been forced to keep this week due to the pressures of the media commitments that come with being the greatest player of all time. Federer's been struggling to fit it all in this week - practising, dealing with the press as well as fulfilling his commitments in terms of promoting the tournament. It hasn't helped that he's been scheduled in the night session for each of his matches so far, meaning he doesn't get to sleep till gone midnight.

“I've had breakfast at 12, lunch at 5pm and dinner at 11pm,” Federer laughed. “It's shifted over. You have to be used to this when you're a tennis player. It's been very quiet. I'm going to bed really late like I did in Australia at two in the morning and waking up at 11 or 12. So it's a different schedule. I'm not doing a whole lot more than making sure I have an easy week with a lot of sleep. I think it's important in cold weather to make sure you sleep and stretch enough and warm up correctly for the matches.”

However having been competing in these sort of events for well over a decade now, Federer knows what it takes to succeed and he's eased through both his matches so far against Grega Zemlja and Thiemo De Bakker. He knows he'll need to raise his game against Julien Benneteau in the quarters, an opponent he has plenty of respect for after needing five sets to defeat him in the third round of Wimbledon last year.

“I’m aware that he plays me tough and well. I know I’m in for a tough match,” Federer said. “He’s a really good player. He can take it to you by returning, serving, moving well. He’s a good anticipator. He’s won his matches convincingly, so he knows where his game is at and he’s found his range.”

Цитаты от Роджера из нтервью на немецком для Gerry Weber Open ( выложили на рфк)

Federer: "I used to be a brat."

The tennis super star about the Gerry Weber Open and intimate Olympic moments

Rotterdam. Room 1212, 12th floor. Bel Etage at Manhattan Hotel in Rotterdam. Conference room. Two massive armchairs in front of the panorama windows, rattling espresso machine. Roger Federer, perhaps the greatest tennis player of all time, invites us to a coffee klatch at the start of the ATP tournament in the Dutch port city. Speed dating with a 17 record GS winner. 55 minutes time for questions. The 31-year-old player is interviewed by Patrick Menzel. Federer, who will play at the Gerry Weber Open 2013 in Halle (8 to 16 of June), speaks about...

... his first Gerry Weber Open title 10 years ago: "Now I can already start looking back 10 years ago. The victories in Halle and a few days later at Wimbledon were very emotional and important - a sign about everything that came afterwards."

... his fateful year 2003: "Due to the Gerry Weber Open 2003 I went to Wimbledon perfectly prepared. Well, "perfectly" is something else. After just having lost in the first round in Paris the pressure was extremely high. I had to reach at least the quarters at Wimbledon to make people forget about the defeat. That worked. Then came this incredible consistency. After the double victory of Halle and Wimbledon I knew not only that I could play at highest level for a month but also that I could react well to defeats."

... the pressure at the beginning of his career: "People knew that I was talented. However they were a bit spoiled by Martina Hingis, Lleyton Hewitt, Marat Safin, Tommy Haas and Nicolas Kiefer who had already achieved so much at young age. I was still playing in the juniors as Hewitt won the ATP tournament in Adelaide in 1998, even though we were at the same age. Hewitt was so strong mentally, Safin - physically. I still had my problems in both departments and was rather the player who needed time, who had to mature and learn."

... his advantage as a late bloomer: "I am glad that I went through highs and lows in the beginning of my career. Thus I have come to appreciate tournament victories and learned that it's not normal to play always consistently."

... his 7th Wimbledon title: "After having played consistently during the whole year, I knew that I had a chance. That's why the title didn't come as a surprise. But when I look back this was perhaps one of the best and most emotional wins. At that age, to become again number 1, to break Sampras's record and to see my family, it was magical."

... five bittersweet Olympic minutes: "I was incredibly-disappointed after my loss in the Olympics final in London. It will never again happen to me to play the Olympics at Wimbledon. While I was waiting for the award ceremony after the match against Murray, someone came into the room and wanted to explain to me the ceremony. I asked him to leave me in peace for 5 minutes. In these 5 minutes I asked myself whether I had to really feel disappointed or proud of the medal. Of course I was depressed but I shouldn't share this with the whole world. So I went out and was happy as a child about the silver medal for Switzerland."

... his charming way to lose: "I used to be a brat. Indeed, I never broke my rackets after losses - not alone out of respect for the company Wilson and my parents. But I was a bad loser and used to cry after losses. At some point I told myself: one can't win everything but one can try everything. As long as I have tried everything, I don't blame myself for losses."

... WTA prohibiting grunting: "It would be good if somebody put a stop on this. All my career I have played without ever grunting and I don't hit the ball all that effortlessly either. So it's possible to do without it."

... Lance Armstrong's doping confession and the dirty stuff in tennis: "It's horrible how much evil a single person has done to so many people. We must fight doping rigorously and aggressively. Therefore more tests should be done during and out of competitions. Consequences are important. Prize money should be returned and tournament wins should be cancelled."

... plans for the future: "This year I'm skipping DC and won't play Miami either. This gives me 4 to 8 weeks time for practicing and for my family. I've hardly had time to practice since the little ones were born. This year I need to catch up on training and get preparatory work done so that next year I can play more again."

... a gilded career end: "In fact with an Olympic gold and silver I'm at peace with myself. But there's still one big goal: Olympic gold in singles. 2016 is no longer so far away. I have often mentioned 2016 when I was asked when I would retire - partly for protection, but also partly out of realistic consideration."

Это, по-моему, расстроило больше всего - проигранный финал именно на кортах Уимблдона.


А по поводу WTA полностью поддерживаю. Я вчера пыталась посмотреть финал в Дохе, изображение тормозило, а звук шел, так визги Азаренко заглушали даже шум трибун. Жуть, имхо.

А по поводу всего остального я опять чуть не расплакалась. Я эти пять минут прорыдала в туалете. А потом поразилась, как он может так хорошо держаться, он выглядел натурально счастливым, так улыбался и махал всем ручкой, что можно было подумать, что это какая-то ошибка, медали перепутали. А потом еще когда к прессе шел, прямо всем фанам персонально помахал, поздоровался, медаль целовал, в общем старался, как мог.

Конечно серьезно....
но в том-то и фокус фединой менталки,что при потере ,включается защитный механизм - все могло быть гораздо хуже!
в данном случае : быть разочарованным или гордиться?

И это дает ему силы не в падать в депрессию ,намечать новые цели и идти к ним.

И людей с такой вот способностью переключать сознание за 5-15 мин, не так уж и много.

возможно,что эта способность имеет вторую "функцию" - прививка от звездной болезни...

по -моему так

Federer plays big brother to village children



GOVHU, South Africa (Reuters) - "Big brother Roger," as the village schoolteachers call him, smiles at the small children and asks them to guess which sport he plays.

Most of the bright-eyed three-year-olds have no idea who their visitor is but one, quicker than the rest, pipes up: "You play tennis!".

Delighted, Roger Federer turns his palms up to reveal a badly calloused right hand punished by 23 years of holding a racquet, showing the children the difference from the smoother left one.

There are few parts of the world where the man considered as the greatest ever tennis player and holder of a record 17 grand slam titles is not instantly recognised.

Here, in rural South Africa where he is visiting one of the village pre-schools his charitable foundation supports, the Swiss is unfamiliar to the children but commands their attention and curiosity.

In a small, cool, classroom, the toddlers sheltering from the heat stand with heads tipped upwards and eyes fixed on the towering champion as he hits a tennis ball against a wall, demonstrating how to swing a racquet.

Federer looks composed in the sweltering heat of Limpopo province, on the border with Zimbabwe, even though his bright red shirt, wet with sweat by noon, gives him away.

Deep in the densely vegetated village some 20 kilometres from the nearest paved road, the ground is parched and dust flies into the air as brightly-costumed Venda women dance to entertain their world-famous guest.

"My heart is in South Africa, through my mum," Federer, the son of a Swiss father and a South African mother, told Reuters.

"My mum being from here, me spending a lot of time here as well, I feel most connected to this part of the world."

The Roger Federer Foundation supports 40 pre-schools in the area and spends over $3 million a year on educational projects in South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Ethiopia and Federer's home country Switzerland. Over 50,000 children benefited from the foundation's efforts in 2012 to improve quality education in pre-schools and primary schools.

BROKEN EDUCATION SYSTEM

"When I travelled the world, I definitely saw poor countries, people who told me it was so hard for them to get an education," said Federer, who was visiting two pre-schools in the Limpopo province with his mother this week to mark the 10th anniversary of his foundation being founded.

"I always liked the idea of education because in our world going to school is the most normal thing in the world. We sometimes forget what a privilege it is, to go to school."

South Africa has a broken education system, inherited from decades of inferior education for the majority black population under the apartheid system.

Nineteen years into democracy and the new government is still overwhelmed by the task, with some high-school leavers managing pass rates of only 30 percent.

In this place, a decent education remains beyond the reach of many children and some 80 percent of the community is unemployed, the villiage chief's representative said.

For a man who has earned close to $80 million in prize money alone thanks to his exploits on a tennis court, Federer has never forgotten the value of a good education.

Federer admits he did not always do his best at school, saying: "I used to have many more regrets when I was younger, because I was a bit crazy.

"At school, I wouldn't always learn for my tests as much as I should have. I think that's why today I'm so dedicated to both things, so people don't do the same mistakes as I did, even though I was able to turn the corner in time."

The father of twin daughters, Federer added: "I like to be an idol for kids, I do. For me it's important to be a good role model and I live accordingly.

"But I'm not changing for it, I do it because I believe in it and because it is natural."

During his three-hour visit to the pre-school in Guvhu, Federer held a captive audience as he read the story of the 'Gingerbread Man' out to the 30 or so children who sat around him.

As his visit comes to an end, Federer leaves with the words of the village school principal echoing in his ears: "If it is possible, please, come back to us again."

Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer talk about doping. The Swiss:´ Armstrong give back money and titles´

Rafael Nadal wants to clear the doping issue: "It’s a real problem in sport that strongly damages the image – said the Majorcan newly winner of Sao Paolo tournament - but pay attention not to put everybody in the same bracket”.
The Spanish explains that: “Cases like the one of Armstrong or the one of Operation Puerto are the cancer of sport but you have to fight with all the strength you have, to grant transparency, make the tests public and collaborate even if the enterprise to come out as winner is complicated”. The Spanish throws then a gibe to Roger Federer: ”Once Federer came out saying that controls are too little. It’s not the time to discuss weather the controls. It’s the moment to cooperate all together and make public the controls that we all do weekly.”

The comments of the own Federer that disapproves Lance Armstrong: “His behaviour was really horrible not only for him but also for the people close to him. I keep on saying that more anti doping tests have to be done outside competition. Punishment is not enough, people like Armstrong should give back first all all the won titles and then the money earned during his career.”

Я иногда пишу список вопросов, чего бы мне хотелось у Роджера спросить, потому что обычно когда он нежно на тебя смотрит, из головы сразу все вылетает и там образуется черная дыра И сегодня наш финансовый зашел ко мне и случайно увидел последний вопрос, который был как раз почему он проиграл финал ОИ, только от того, что не смог восстановиться физически и эмоционально после п/ф или еще была какая-то причина, и сказал: "А ты понимаешь что этим вопросом ты вставляешь нож в старую рану и начинаешь медленно его проворачивать, преданно глядя ему в глаза?"
