The Swiss maestro, Roger Federer, who once was a hot-headed tennis star, with the passage of time, turned out to be a calm and in-control graceful champion on the tennis court. He rarely becomes agitated or angry when playing tennis. And believes in keeping his personal and professional lives apart. Yet, there is only one thing that really irks him. And recently, he disclosed one bothersome fan behavior that annoys him the most.

During his elongated tennis career, there were situations when the 20-time Grand Slam champion felt frustrated with the fame that came along with it.

Roger Federer discloses one bothersome fan behavior

In an interview with Credit Suisse, the former world number one tennis player discusses the attention he received as a tennis player. And also discussed the most vexing aspect of his popularity as a well-known sporting personality which literally irritates him the most.

He stated that he appreciates how everyone wants to preserve a memory shared with him. But as a parent, he found it particularly unpleasant when others try to meddle in his kids’ lives. Or even just take a photo of them.

He said, “Mobile phones can definitely be a problem sometimes. I can understand it when fans pull out their phones to take a photo of me – they might never see me again and want to seize the opportunity. But, as a family man, I get really annoyed when somebody takes a photo of my children without asking.”
