17-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer has said that tennis is still his priority in life although he has adjusted to a new situation of having to pay attention to family life.

According to tennisworldusa.org, Federer also expressed that his twin daughters Myla Rose and Charlene Riva have not shown any interest in following in the footsteps of their famous dad.

The seven-time Wimbledon Champion said that the girls were not crazy about tennis and they drew, listened to music, swam, danced and did all those kind of things, which he was quite happy about.

Federer said that before having the girls, he would go to bars, club and restaurants but now his family was visiting the cities from a different angle, going to the zoo and other attractions instead.

 

The player grinned while talking about a recent outing with his kids in New York City, where they went to the Guggenheim museum and had a good time.
