In his elongated tennis career, filled with victories and losses, Roger Federer always took the loss very positively. In such a way that even Hollywood star, Hugh Jackman was impressed by the Swiss Maestro’s philosophic loss and revealed how the tennis legend reacted to his loss. 

With almost 369 victories, the tennis ace altered his approach to loss on the court. When he was younger, he used to react aggressively to defeat, often swinging his racket on the court to express his displeasure and rage, but with the growing time, the way he handled loss changed a lot of things.

Hugh Jackman on Roger Federer’s clear philosophy after losing 

The Australian actor in a conversation with Reader’s Digest magazine shared a conversation he had with the Swiss maestro’s wife, Mirka Federer, on how the tennis star handled loss on the court. Additionally, he also talked about how his philosophy of handling things as a star was very different from his way of dealing with losses.

He said, “She said [that] even after he would lose, he would come home and play table tennis with the kids. He was very philosophical about it all. I’m not quite at that @rogerfederer level.” The best thing in life is to put your stress aside and spend time with your family.

Notably, whether you’re a sports star or a movie actor, handling success is much easier than handling failure in any field. However, that same upbeat attitude captured the hearts of millions of Federer fans. The 54-year-old actor, though, has a soft spot for the 20-time Grand Slam winner, and a few years ago, he was among the first celebrities to accept the former tennis player’s challenge.
