@@carmelalinka Since it was the first time he won Wimbledon, the interviewer reminded him that he became a Wimbledon member and was going to receive his membership card. So he brought up that funny story. They also asked him if he would play cricket in the club with Federer afterwards lol.
@@RobManser77 oh that makes way more sense than cricket lol. English is not my first language so probably I heard it wrong in the interview. Thanks for the correction! :D
@@johnmartinez7440 Generally speaking yes, I agree, but Messi is the most humble athlete I've seen. The guy is once in a lifetime genius, but has never said "I am the best". By the way Federer and Messi are big fans of eachother because they are so alike as playing styles and attitude.
Federer is undoubtedly one of my favorite players of all time not only be because of how he won wimbledon 8 times but because of how humble he is. Respect this guy.
I’m 100% a Federer fan. With that said, the security guard did the right thing. This would be a version of social engineering if he technically was not allowed in Wimbledon 😂
It's understandable that she may not have been in a position to let Federer in herself. But still she should have contacted her superiors or some club official and asked them if it was ok to let him in. That was Roger Federer for god's sake.
Federer is very humble and down to earth. He's one of the greatest tennis players and my favorite. Always love his trick shots (super amazing) as well as his sportsmanship. The fact that he didn't pull the "do u know who I am" card and instead was begging to the security lady just speaks volume of his character.
The fact that he didn't tell her "Don't you know who am I?" instead of politely letting her know that he won the tournament 8 times, speaks volumes! 👏👏👏🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Humility is such a rare gem, especially in celebrities of late. So glad Mr Federer stayed humble and kind throughout his career and beyond. What a legend! ❤
She was thinking: “8 times?! Cmon now. Whol you kidsing?.” Maybe if RF said or 3 tiles he might hae been given a chance. CLASS eiptomized. I am forever a fan.
@@imaboostedanimal2774 yeah honestly.... they must have huge photos or posters of him somewhere in there, and forget Wimbledon..... almost everyone who follows a bit of any sports knows Federer
I love that he didn't come right out and tell the lady who he was. You'd think after he said "eight times" that she'd have caught on. Great ending though.
@@arete7884Djokovic is basically the most disliked tennis player of the era, which is quite impressive when you've got people like Kyrgios strutting around.

He didn't put his name first, like more celebrities or famous people usually do. He puts his achievements first who defines who he is. "I won this 8 times, trust me I'm a member"😅
Makes me wish we all have his humility, instead of telling him to bend rules using his celebrity, at the place where he respects the history and legacy
Her job instructions were probably to strictly not let anyone in unless they have a membership card. Sure it's more than reasonable to make an exception for Federer but it's not her place to make that decision. She did her job very well.
This is great. One time, when I was running a particular door of a nightclub, I was telling this lady that she'll just have to go and line up. She laughed at first and just stood there. Then, when she realised that I wasn't joking and had no idea who she was, she leaned in and said, "I'm performing tonight, I'm Shakira Shakira!" Just joking. It wasn't Shakira, but she leaned in and whispered, "I'm sorry that we haven't met, I'm Lisa, this is my nightclub..." Turns out she's a really nice lady and an awesome employer to work for!
At wimbledon of course. But not anywhere. Peak Djokovic beats peak Federer more times than not on hard and clay. And peak nadal crushes peak fed on clay
You're delusional. It's commonly agreed that Federer's peak years were roughly from 2004 - 2008. During that time, his head to head against pre-peak Nadal is 6 to 12. You may like Federer more, but the stats are clear. Rafa is simply better than him. Your feelings don't matter in this discussion.
@@TorpedoSandwich0Roger dominated Rafa late in his career. 6-1 from age 34-38 while Rafa was age 29-33. 7-1 if you count the walkover. The problem for Roger was all the matches on clay that they played. Rafa led 14-2 on clay while Roger led 14-10 off clay. Makes sense since Rafa was the greatest on clay ever. If they played their matches evenly over all 3 surfaces, Roger probably would have finished with the better head to head record. They just happened to play the most on Rafa's best surface.
@crls1 Federer is, of course, one of the best ever but one could argue that Djokovic or Nadal are equivalent, if not better. Take into account that Djokovic will probably play for another 2 or 3 years at the top level.
@@crls1How? I challege you to give me a single objective argument in favor of Federer being better than Djokovic. Novak has more Grand Slams, more Master 1000 titles, more weeks at Number 1 and a winning head to head record against Federer. The same (except for the weeks at number 1) goes for Nadal, but with an even more lopsided h2h (Nadal 24 - 16 Federer). I like Federer, but he's obviously 3rd best. The stats couldn't be more clear. You'd know that too if you didn't get your entire tennis knowledge from TH-cam Shorts.
@@TorpedoSandwich0 I almost got scared of your angry fingers there. Both Novak and Nadal started competing with Federer when they were much younger and gained the edge in numbers later on, when age and injuries began to weigh against Roger. Novak = 6 years younger, Nadal = 5 years younger. You can type whatever you want, I've seen them play and Roger has always been number 1 for me.
Yeah, millions of people every day can relate to that annoying feeling when they cannot get past the Wimbledon security despite winning it 8 times. Literally me.
Roger's humility is next level. The fact that he felt embarrassed to tell the security guard who he was, just shows how humble he is. Any other person with a fraction of his achievements would've pulled the "do you know who I am? " card within seconds of the interaction.
"I'm the one who knocks" 😅
Yeah, I mean he could have easily gone somewhere in the middle and just said, “Hey I’m Roger Federer, I’ve won here before”
i am batman...

Not really. It'd be actually embarrassing for anyone to say, "do you know who I am?" and ruin the reputation.
