Roger Federer has been enjoying his retirement from tennis, having achieved an illustrious career. The Swiss legend has now dedicated time to his family and foundation. In a recent interview, he revealed that society must help children break away from the digital space.

The 42-year-old is happy to influence other children, especially his four home-schooled kids. They speak English fluently, and also German. However, his responsibility as a father hasn’t overshadowed his performances on the court while playing.

He enjoyed playing on grass and hard court, and became the first player to win five consecutive US Open titles from 2004-2008. He is also the record winner of the Cincinnati Masters, with seven crowns to his name. The 20-time Grand Slam winner also won 8 Wimbledon titles and reached the finals of 18 of the 19 Grand Slams from 2005 to 2010.

In a recent interview shared by Telematin on X, he revealed that he keeps children interested in sports rather than the digital world.

I think that by creating a field like that, we have to talk to them. Not just to children, but to parents, teachers, everyone in fact. It's true that the screen is so extreme today that we need some rules. Especially, at a certain age. Until the age of 14 or 16, you have to control things well. It's the big battle every day, I know exactly what you're talking about. I think that going out into nature, or doing sports, is the most important if we think about last week, which was the most enjoyable. This habit always in nature, sports or friends, but rarely the screen.
