Roger Federer has faced many challenges on the court, but his toughest was a fan question which asked who amongst his kids are easier to parent.

I’d say right now the girls, but it hasn’t always been like this,” Federer said. “I think it depends on the daily mood. There are some serious mood swings going on from time to time, so it’s a battle but it’s a good one.”

While Federer’s retirement remains one constant question among tennis circles, there is a certain excitement as well whether the junior Federer’s will follow their parents footsteps into the game of tennis.
