Tennis has been an integral part of Roger Federer’s life. However, even then, he has not centered the meaning of his existence around the sport. As Roger Federer went on a train ride with half-Swiss comedian Trevor Noah, he reminisced about a wholesome hike he had with his children. A complete family fan, Federer was happy to be a part of the team despite having a hard time completing the hike.

Now that Federer is retired, he is keen on taking new endeavors to test new waters. After being a part of an art exhibition show, he went on a serene, beautiful train ride with Trevor Noah. And on the ride, he was happy to share little anecdotes from his life.

Roger Federer hopes to be as strong as his children 

Federer enjoys spending time with his children going on hikes in Switzerland. However, there was one time, he regretted doing it. On the other hand, his kids were quite zealous to come on a trek with their father.

In a short snippet of the documentary film, ‘Ride of a Lifetime’, Roger Federer was detailing one such hike in a candid conversation with Trevor Noah. Wishing for stamina like his kids, he stated, “I hope I can do it as well as my children.” Like every family, they also have a tradition and theirs is quite “monstrous.”

Federer reminisced, “I remember, when I came down, my knees were shaking because I was actually rehabbing back in ’16 and ’17 and was not ready for such a huge hike. I underestimated the hike.”

Though his kids enjoyed the hike, it became quite too much for them too. Federer said, “As I was coming down, we were all like, ‘Oh my God! This was too far.”
