Roger Federer’s answers about his kids
After his landmark victory, Roger Federer was queried by BBC about his kids. Talking about his little sons, Roger Federer said:

When asked about his twin daughters’ reaction to the play, Roger Federer said:
“They enjoy to watch a little bit. They come for the finals, I guess.”

“Holding the trophy now, after not dropping a set in the tournament, it’s magical really. I can’t believe it yet. It’s too much,”
Roger further added:
“It’s disbelief I can achieve such heights. I wasn’t sure I would ever be here in another final after last year. I had some tough ones in the finals, losing two against Novak (Djokovic). But I always believed. I kept on believing and dreaming I could get back.”
He added:
“Here am I today with the eighth. It’s fantastic, if you keep believing you can go far in your life.”
