Roger Federer looks ahead to the Australian Open and emotionally recalls the influence his former coach Peter Carter had on his early tennis career. #CNN #News
scollin Andy Murray is another really great player. Love the respect my favorite players have toward each other. Roger and Murray they call the feminist because are always in their fighting for equal rights for women in tennis. Roger was born in South Africa and I watch it’s charity tournaments that he has for them and the players that always show up to help so funny every year.
@@amanmaheshwari5830 really? Lots of people have lost the AO and most have given a graceful speech that had some class. Nadal lost the longest game ever against Djokovic. Medvedev lost too. Classy speeches. No tantrums.

I'm not a tennis fan. But I'm a Roger Federer fan. You know someone is a genius when they make you sit down and not want to miss a second of a game in a sport you don't even follow.
Yes he's a humble man with great talent at this age as well reason being if u see at his age almost all tennis players have retired and still in late 30'S he still plays the finest one
Even worse, he died on his honeymoon after the amazing news that his wife was cancer-free. They did it to celebrate. It was Roger's idea since his mother is South African and has many fond memories there. He blames himself even though nothing is his fault. It's so touching how kind-hearted and humble Roger is and how he wears his emotions on his sleeve when not on the court.
Yeah.... His whole experience in that particular sport tells abt that.... Such a wonderful player and great HUMANBEING..... Hope for inspiring many people.....
He is the demonstration that it is possible to be on the spotlight as one of the greatest competitors of all time and still remain the same honest and sensitive person he's always been. I guess it's kind of rare to survive this kind of celebrity as a human being. He must have had the best entourage one could dream of.
@@ave-6130 really? I'd eliminate the boxers and basketball players on the basis of the participation rates in the sports being so low worldwide. Then really it's just a question of Messi and Ronaldo... and for me Federer edges it based on the fact it's a solo sport and both the above have played their entire careers in top level teams.
@Dawei Zhao possibly.. basketball is big, it just seems so focussed one one league worldwide vs football (soccer) for example. I don't think most people would have somebody like LeBron anywhere near their top 5 athletes? It's a really difficult to define "greatness" though... does it go beyond being the best? If so Ali, Jordan etc definitely have their place. Mike Tyson was a straight up joke though haha.
vlad majorally you cant really be a plastic fan in tennis. In football you like a team not a person, that is plastic. In tennis a person is your team therefore not plastic.
A man who understands how fortunate he is but at the same time confident, but not overconfident in realizing how talented he is. I used to enjoy watching anyone play tennis before Federer. After the last 15 years I'm not sure I want to watch anyone else play tennis after he hangs it up. Whether he's the GOAT, I don't know, but to me my favorite athlete ever.
I watch this again just after he was ousted by Hurkacz in straight sets from Wimbledon. No matter what, who or whatever comes to reign the tennis world; he’ll always be my favourite and best tennis player.
Probably one of the most talented but at the same time most humble humans on earth, I've never met anyone, famous or not, as humble as Roger, while still having a lot to brag about if he wanted to. Simply incredible ❤️
I totally echo that exact same thought. Doesn't matter who the goat is. Everyone would say it's Djokovic now but there will come a day when Djokovic will face a nemesis. And cycle rolls on. But Federer remains in an untouchable spot in my heart. When he loses my heart drops. Him retiring is unthinkable. He will always remain my most favourite tennis player of all time.
This man deserves all he has, i know is obvious, but not everyone reaching his success is able to mantain this very humble behavior on and out the court.
Here after Roger's retirement... man would Peter be proud! Roger will always remain a Legend on and off the court! Thanks for a truly inspiring career! ❤️
@@__jan6113 He has a great game but that isn't enough to become a champion you need to want to play for the record books. Nick is happy to play for fame and money.
Sammy abrams yeah came to know about that few days ago. Now I am disappointed with his attitude towards Tennis considering he admires Roger and yet not taking the game seriously when having both talent and opportunity to show it.
You can still see the innocent and pure child in his eyes when he expresses his emotions so raw and genuine like he does here. This is the catalyst of his magic for sure. Being a man with a heart of a child is truly an art of fulfillment and he’s all about it!. 🙏❤️. I’m sure his former coach is extremely proud wherever he may be.
I just saw him play Djokovic in Wimbledon. Quite a match, which Djokovic won. But what a champion Federer is, almost 38 and still fighting for every ball. I salute him.
Tina Tini Don’t be rude, yeah we all have a right to our opinions and which tennis players we like but Roger Federer worked just as hard as Novak so we respect and salute them both.
Tina Tini: You imply that Federer hasn't worked as hard as, and isn't as good as, Djokovic. You need to educate yourself and know the facts before you make such a baseless, stupid comment. Federer didn't get where he is by not working hard. He's hugely talented, hard working, successful, famous to the point that even people who don't follow tennis know who he is - and he's still humble, grounded and immensely likeable. As successful as Djokovic is, the same can't be said of him. He can be incredibly arrogant, nasty (as in when he berates his 'team' in their box when he plays a match that isn't going his way and he's making lots of mistakes!) and his obsession with trying to be as popular as players such as Federer and Nadal is pretty pathetic. He'll never achieve that kind of popularity and no amount of money or fake gestures, such as his celebratory routine at the end of matches that he wins, can buy that.
@@leicestergirl63 You might also want to brush up on your judgemental notes as well. ALL three of them are a generation that will hardly be repeated in the years to come. And for some of us, Djokovic was what Federer or Nadal were for others. He also had to work extra hard to win the respect Federer naturally enjoyed, not to mention constant matches when it feels like no one's on his side. I'm not saying he hadn't made mistakes, but he definitely matured so much and is a great role model to many. So please, be careful on disrespectful comments, seems like you're also seeing only the side of the story you want to.
Spot on Bro! sometimes I used to think that US Open, English & French fans get to be rude towards Novak. But Honesty, they can't all behave this way by coincidence nor out of spite. Roger is a magician that captured the majority of Tennis fans hearts. as for Djokovic, he is one hell of a mental fortress & athleticism... but it's pathetic to see such a champion trying too hard to be liked. it can be forced nor bought for sure.
And THAT is why i like Federer, he fully recognizes he's been so, so LUCKY with his circumstance in life. He doesn't, like many rich people, ascribe it as Destiny.
@@paulking5199 There are MILLIONS of people who work as hard as Federer, but since they have to walk 10 miles each day to get water because the US airforce has bombed their original village, they won''t make millions. So, no: that was REALLY NOT what I was talking about. Some people think that poor people MOSTLY only have to blame themselves for their poverty. Because admitting that they don't would require THEM to give up some of their wealth. Which, out of greed, some people won't do. Are you one of those people?
Wow. Man you are really lucky. He is my hero and my favourite personality and if i get a wish to meet somebody then my answer would be ROGER FEDERER ❤️
He just retired.... I came to rewatch this video because when i saw this interview 3 years back i was like i am gonna cry so much the day this legend retire... And yeah i cried!!!!!! I am sure every sports lover did.
This Man has a beautiful Soul. Probably one of the most loveable, down to earth players we've ever seen. I don't often watch Tennis, but I watch Roger Federer.
Guess the death of his coach is the reason why he is the greatest cause at this point he train harder and harder to show it that he can become more than just a talent
Believe it or not, but Federer threw many tantrums back in the day (like Kygrios), and greatly struggled with his mental problems and his own attitude. He frequently threw his racquet, unable to control his temper on the court, which was mainly responsible for him falling short in the grand slams. He was quite a spoilt brat back then. However, Peter Carter's death, which occurred in 2002, shocked him into maturity, and changed his career as well as the history of tennis forever. As a result of this tragic event, Federer immediately changed his attitude. He then blazed through his opponents without showing any signs of mental fragility, all the way to his first grand slam, which is what we have come to see from him over the years :) If this had not happened, Federer would have likely gone down as an angry prodigy who failed to fulfill his potential, much like Tomic.
I didn’t even knew who is Roger Federer. I had just randomly heard a name “Federer” from my 13 years old brother who was playing a tennis game while feeling bored. And I scolded him a year back that you don’t even know who is he, from where he belongs, don’t you know how to play tennis, you just have learnt a name and you’re pronouncing it again and again just to show off that you’ve interest in tennis.... And then we laughed so hard that we don’t even know how to play tennis A year after, yesterday, when I was randomly scrolling on CZcams, this video came up and a random thought came that may be he’s the man of whom we used to make fun I clicked the video and after these three minutes, I thought that how can I be this much senseless and judgemental without knowing anyone He’s a gem!!!! A Real Man who has been dedicated, hardworking and passionate throughout his career!!!! Sorry Roger!!!! I was wrong.... You Won My Heart♥️ I haven’t watched tennis ever, but I would love to watch you playing.... Such A Pure And Classy Soul You’re!!!!🙌🏻♥️
The Godfather do not try to be over smart !!!!he didn’t mention abt how long he would be inconsolable... he just mentioned that he would be inconsolable when he retires....
Wow when he started crying it hit me instantly. Rodger you are the best tennis player EVER! in my opinion.. When you retire I will cry. Your dad is super proud you have made the world proud. Your talent is unbelievable. You got nothing left to prove. G.O.A.T
There will never be another Roger, he is so special as a player, a person for younger players to look up to, a great competitor and as a sensitive man who is tough on the court but always such a gentleman.
Peter carter made RF cry. RF cry made me cry. My cry made my mom cry. She doesn't even know what tennis is- a sport or movie, still tears came.. What a Legend!!!! Take a bow
One of the greatest athletes the world has ever seen. And now he’s the most famous athlete in recent history to announce his retirement. The most elegant player. Truly a legend. Will be deeply missed in grand slam tennis.
His unwavering passion for family, friends, philanthropy, tennis... is deep, admirable and endearing. It's what has defined both he and his game. So appreciative Roger is still enjoying the game we all enjoy watching him play. Humble and amazing man and athlete.
Allison Elizabeth did you know that his parents live with him and his wife and kids?? He had this house built a home in Switzerland made of all glass. Crazy
I know it's a long shot but a big part of me wants him to win gold at the Summer Olympics next year in Tokyo.... would be en epic ending to an amazing career.
Seeing Roger cry almost made me cry 😭 I've not been watching tennis for very long at all but I love this guy and hope for only the best for him. He's accomplished so much and will be remembered for generations ✊
Roger Federer is for me the biggest inspiration human on Earth. He's such a great Tennis player and so thankful for everything. A Real Sportsman, friend ... U cant describe how great he is!
It will be a very sad day in tennis when Roger Federer retires
Not just tennis. Sport in general. He's one of the greats in any sport.
Hope this day is still very far
I cannot watch him retire.. That will be saddest day in sports
People been saying this for years now. And here we are in 2019. Roger top 3 in the world. Ready to defend his sixth Australian Open title lol
Hope this day never comes
When Roger cries, we all cry.

He also had to work extra hard to win the respect Federer naturally enjoyed, not to mention constant matches when it feels like no one's on his side. I'm not saying he hadn't made mistakes, but he definitely matured so much and is a great role model to many. So please, be careful on disrespectful comments, seems like you're also seeing only the side of the story you want to.
Spot on Bro! sometimes I used to think that US Open, English & French fans get to be rude towards Novak. But Honesty, they can't all behave this way by coincidence nor out of spite. Roger is a magician that captured the majority of Tennis fans hearts. as for Djokovic, he is one hell of a mental fortress & athleticism... but it's pathetic to see such a champion trying too hard to be liked. it can be forced nor bought for sure.
Well...i'm sure Peter would be proud to you Roger..incredibly proud...
am crying with roger!he was that close to his coach peter carter
True
This is not about Roger crying, it's about the man who didn't live long enough to see his work come to fruition.
This is what it’s all about: the people that touch you in your life, and those you touch; without that, life is meaningless.
And THAT is why i like Federer, he fully recognizes he's been so, so LUCKY with his circumstance in life. He doesn't, like many rich people, ascribe it as Destiny.
Or hard work or talent. All of those matter but there's always the element of luck - knowing the right people to fill in the gaps.
@@paulking5199 There are MILLIONS of people who work as hard as Federer, but since they have to walk 10 miles each day to get water because the US airforce has bombed their original village, they won''t make millions. So, no: that was REALLY NOT what I was talking about. Some people think that poor people MOSTLY only have to blame themselves for their poverty. Because admitting that they don't would require THEM to give up some of their wealth. Which, out of greed, some people won't do. Are you one of those people?
@@amandagirlygirl12 I was literally agreeing with you.
@@amandagirlygirl12 Wtf are you talking about?
@@paulking5199 Sorry.
Met him at a party once, he’s truly a down to earth person
S C which party?
S C yeah which Party
Called a dream
S C what party?
Wow. Man you are really lucky. He is my hero and my favourite personality and if i get a wish to meet somebody then my answer would be ROGER FEDERER ❤️
One of those elite athletes who are humble and down to earth. Seems like a great guy
He just retired.... I came to rewatch this video because when i saw this interview 3 years back i was like i am gonna cry so much the day this legend retire...
And yeah i cried!!!!!! I am sure every sports lover did.
This young woman is such a remarkable interviewer. Intelligent and compassionate.
This Man has a beautiful Soul. Probably one of the most loveable, down to earth players we've ever seen. I don't often watch Tennis, but I watch Roger Federer.
I think that’s most people. Its not tennis we follow its roger.
Guess the death of his coach is the reason why he is the greatest cause at this point he train harder and harder to show it that he can become more than just a talent
Believe it or not, but Federer threw many tantrums back in the day (like Kygrios), and greatly struggled with his mental problems and his own attitude.
He frequently threw his racquet, unable to control his temper on the court, which was mainly responsible for him falling short in the grand slams. He was quite a spoilt brat back then.
However, Peter Carter's death, which occurred in 2002, shocked him into maturity, and changed his career as well as the history of tennis forever.
As a result of this tragic event, Federer immediately changed his attitude. He then blazed through his opponents without showing any signs of mental fragility, all the way to his first grand slam, which is what we have come to see from him over the years :)
If this had not happened, Federer would have likely gone down as an angry prodigy who failed to fulfill his potential, much like Tomic.
@@TheJoker-jx1hd good words
The Joker Maybe Kyrgios needs a similar wake up call, hopefully not in the form of death though
@@hottakes5294 Maybe if Lahyani passes away, Kyrgios will become great too!
@@MohammadAsadullaShareef yo, don't think about stuff like that
From ball boy to an ambassador of tennis ❤️
I didn’t even knew who is Roger Federer. I had just randomly heard a name “Federer” from my 13 years old brother who was playing a tennis game while feeling bored.
And I scolded him a year back that you don’t even know who is he, from where he belongs, don’t you know how to play tennis, you just have learnt a name and you’re pronouncing it again and again just to show off that you’ve interest in tennis....
And then we laughed so hard that we don’t even know how to play tennis
A year after, yesterday, when I was randomly scrolling on CZcams, this video came up and a random thought came that may be he’s the man of whom we used to make fun
I clicked the video and after these three minutes, I thought that how can I be this much senseless and judgemental without knowing anyone
He’s a gem!!!!
A Real Man who has been dedicated, hardworking and passionate throughout his career!!!!
Sorry Roger!!!! I was wrong.... You Won My Heart♥️
I haven’t watched tennis ever, but I would love to watch you playing.... Such A Pure And Classy Soul You’re!!!!🙌🏻♥️
I know I'll be inconsolable when this man retires.
You'll be inconsolable for 1 minute, may be 1 hour or may 1 day max.
@Abraham Villalobos You could regret it for a month ,an year or for a life time that's totally up to you. My point was about 'incosolable' part. 🙂
@@prash175 Which is why I didn't reply. 😀 Life moves on.
@RS2002 And who might you be to advise me on my priorities?
The Godfather do not try to be over smart !!!!he didn’t mention abt how long he would be inconsolable... he just mentioned that he would be inconsolable when he retires....
Okay, now I know why he cries at the Australian Open so much. God -- imagine just getting that wound ripped open every time.
Listen Music yeah but CNN gotta get him crying haha
Wow when he started crying it hit me instantly. Rodger you are the best tennis player EVER! in my opinion.. When you retire I will cry. Your dad is super proud you have made the world proud. Your talent is unbelievable. You got nothing left to prove. G.O.A.T
Emotional moment, talented interviewer, legendary player. Long life tennis.
From a Nole fan.
There will never be another Roger, he is so special as a player, a person for younger players to look up to, a great competitor and as a sensitive man who is tough on the court but always such a gentleman.
I disagree I am sure there will be some Roger juniors in the future generations inspired by him
Peter carter made RF cry.
RF cry made me cry.
My cry made my mom cry.
She doesn't even know what tennis is- a sport or movie, still tears came..
What a Legend!!!! Take a bow
Wow! that's a cascade!
😂 !! Like !!!
Very sweet and goodhearted person. I see in his tears how deeply loved his friend! Blessings to him and everybody in the world.
One of the greatest athletes the world has ever seen. And now he’s the most famous athlete in recent history to announce his retirement. The most elegant player. Truly a legend. Will be deeply missed in grand slam tennis.
Totally agree. I mean no words.
His unwavering passion for family, friends, philanthropy, tennis... is deep, admirable and endearing. It's what has defined both he and his game. So appreciative Roger is still enjoying the game we all enjoy watching him play. Humble and amazing man and athlete.
Allison Elizabeth did you know that his parents live with him and his wife and kids?? He had this house built a home in Switzerland made of all glass. Crazy
@greg oscar And that silly clown has 20 grand slams you dumb fuck
greg oscar your fault not being able to see his human side beyond his wealth. If you don’t like him don’t watch him as simple as that.
I think that it's his sensitivity that makes him so perfect. As a player but also as a human being.
You just simply can't watch this and forget in a flick of a sec. This one surely touched your heart.
This is what true love and appreciation looks like. It's great to see how much he cares, how much he appreciates Peter.
I know it's a long shot but a big part of me wants him to win gold at the Summer Olympics next year in Tokyo.... would be en epic ending to an amazing career.
Great thought, but feel sad when you mention it ending, hopefully a few years away
He had the chance in London 2012. Missed it sadly :(
what kind of ending are u talking about. Rog still goes to semis and finals. hello??
He is an olympic gold medal winner, he has that! Stop with this bs
Alex Andru You and i both now that Roger doesn’t count that doubles medal. So no, he hasn’t that singles medal.
Kudos to this interviewer who is relaxed and down to earth; heartfelt interview
Yes; she was excellent.
Seeing Roger cry almost made me cry 😭 I've not been watching tennis for very long at all but I love this guy and hope for only the best for him. He's accomplished so much and will be remembered for generations ✊
Me too haven't seen tennis for a long...and I missed a loot!! Now I see on YT good! Roger and Rafa 🤩😍🤩
What a fantastic man, and the interviewer was just amazing too very respectful and well spoken. What a lovely moment.
From Switzerland, but loved by people all around the world!! this man is so humble !!
Aww Federer those tears where from the heart! God bless you for that
2:32 this is exactly how I'll cry when Roger retires
You can tell how much he appreciates the impact Peter had on his career.
Roger Frederer....an Absolute gentleman.
Humble, gracious and brilliant at what he does.........LEGEND!!!
World needs to be like him
2:27
The shoulder and the head movements were already too much for me. Such a sincere body language
I started crying too. Such a classy and humble guy. G.O.A.T!
My poor baby. I love this man like he's my son. Definitely the GOAT.
"being emotional"- thats the hallmark of a true legend...
Roger humility is the best of the best, He's a Heart.
Very moving to see him genuinely affected by his feelings and gratitude for the man.
Roger Federer is for me the biggest inspiration human on Earth. He's such a great Tennis player and so thankful for everything. A Real Sportsman, friend ... U cant describe how great he is!
Really sweet for Roger to share his vulnerability with the world. It reminds us he’s human.
Nostalgia is the strongest feeling..
So True
wow, this guy can mop the floor with 99.99999% of tennis players and yet a true gentleman.
