You can't win them all but at the same time you can give all you have. [ MUSIC ] At the beginning of my career, it was almost painful. Get disappointed, frustrated, play a terrible match at the end and you're like aah, should have done so many other things. I shouldn't have behaved the way I did Today I can analyze it much better in the very moment and I think this is what experience is all about. [ SOUND ] [ APPLAUSE ] Roger Federer has become the first man to win 20 grand slam titles. Finals. [ APPLAUSE ] [ MUSIC ] I am very competitive on the tennis court, but away from it, I'm not that competitive, to be quite honest. I'm very laid back, and I think it makes me, I believe, a good father, good husband. Being a dad, is a challenge in itself. You always have to figure things out. Trying to anticipate, trying to organize, and at the end of the day, it all get thrown, out the window, and you just, try to figure it out, again, and again and again. There's a lot that I still have to teach them. And they also do get frustrated and sad when they lose. I was exactly the same, so I'm happy that, I guess, they are a little bit like me.
