Roger Federer hopes his daughters don't become tennis stars - preferring them to be skiers instead



Roger Federer has claimed he “would be happy” if his twin daughters don't play tennis – and the Swiss superstar said he would prefer if they became top skiers.

The world No.3 cruised into the third round of the Australian Open with a 6-3 7-5 6-1 win over Ukrainian Alexandr Dolgopolov.
And then in his courtside interview, Federer said his six-year-old girls Charlene Riva and Myla Rose were not looking like they would become future professionals.
“They don’t get so excited watching me play,” he said. “We’re trying to bring them into the game a little bit even though I don’t think we’ll see them here one day. I would be happy if they don’t end up being on this court, actually.”
Federer, whose wife Mirka is a former pro, explained his reasoning further in his post-match press conference.
