“The boys were in Mallorca in the Nadal camp for a few days,” said Federer and then also said that his two daughters were already in John McEnroe’s tennis academy in the USA.
All four now loved tennis, said the 42-year-old. The two girls weren’t fans at first, “but the better they get, the more they enjoy it and are now playing for points.”
From time to time he would also train the children himself: “If I have time, and I try to take the time, I go on the pitch with them and try to teach them something.” Otherwise he is rarely on the court.
“As a former player, it’s very troublesome to reserve a spot and find someone to play with you, so you don’t do it,” Federer said.
By visiting Mallorca, the 20-time Grand Slam winner also kept a promise from 2016. At that time, the Swiss was invited to the opening of the Nadal Tennis Academy and explained: “I now know where I will send my children when they Want to learn to play tennis.”
