Roger Federer Reveals the Biggest Challenge He and Mirka Face With Daughters Myla and Charlene

Roger Federer is undoubtedly one of the greatest players in tennis history. The 40-year-old has been ever-present on the tour throughout his career but has seen an unfortunate run with injuries lately. The Swiss international has been absent for nearly a year after undergoing double knee surgery.

Federer last won a Grand Slam in Australia, back in 2018 and has fallen from the Top 40 of the ATP rankings.

Roger Federer talks about challenges he faces as a parent

Roger Federer has been spending more time with his family ever since his injury at Wimbledon in 2021. The former World No. 1 discussed the usage of mobile phones in this generation, including his daughters- Myla and Charlene. He believes that the right balance is hard to find in such a lifestyle.

Federer also spoke about his early days, where he was never provided with a mobile phone until a certain age. In an interview back in 2018, Federer spoke about how he tried to keep his children away from electronic devices. He said, “Yeah, they have a very different life but I may give them a little bit more normality. They do not push it (laughter).”

“I do not want to be totally contrary on it, the mobile phone gives us a lot of advantages. But it’s clear: you have to be careful,” he added.

Federer’s comeback in 2022

The 20-time Grand Slam winner has barely featured in the last two seasons, withdrawing from two Grand Slams this year. His best result came at Wimbledon, where he reached the quarter-finals of Wimbledon losing to the Polish star, Hubert Hurkacz.

However, Federer revealed earlier this year that he plans to return for the Laver Cup. The return would mark an absence of over a year, his longest spell on the tour. But, the 40-year-old is still motivated to get a chance to return for one final swing.

Federer will surely want to end a glorious career spanning over two decades on a splendid high. He stands one title short of the all-time record set by Jimmy Connors with 104.
