The simple advice Roger Federer said every aspiring tennis player should follow

Roger Federer’s advice to younger tennis players

Federer has always said he’s still around to offer advice to rising players on the ATP Tour, but his life lessons do not end there.

The Swiss superstar has also offered advice to players who are still playing the sport in a recreational manner.

Speaking to Cosmote TV in Greece, the 20-time Grand Slam champion said: “Listen to your coach, listen to your parents, work hard, enjoy it, and don’t get too frustrated if it doesn’t go well.”

As a player who matured from an irritated teenager into one of the most supreme players in history, Federer is certainly a man worth listening to.

No one could touch the elegance of Federer, and any aspiring tennis player looking to break into the sport would do well to heed his advice.

Roger Federer makes coaching decision on his son Leo

Despite playing the wise guru for many young players, Federer has confirmed that he will not coach his son in the sport.

Leo Federer is 11 years old and has started to play the sport that his dad dominated for so many years.

“I’m not coaching my son. If they need me, I’m there. I love helping, and other kids too, but someone else should be in charge of the training. I see myself more as a general manager with Leo.

“I did not push him for a long time, but for about a year now, I have noticed that he wants to play more. I try to make it happen. At this age, he needs enough practice and matches. I make sure Leo has good coaches and training partners.

Federer has not returned in a full-time capacity to tennis since his 2022 retirement, although he does often make appearances as a guest at tournaments.
