Federer Pitches in With Wimbledon Housekeeping

Roger Federer is well accustomed to home life during the Wimbledon fortnight, with the second seed and seven-time champion revealing that he does pitch in with such mundane tasks as keeping his family’s expansive rented accommodations clean.

While not disclosing the exact nature of his “chores”, the No. 2 said that living in a home environment – especially now with a family of four children – is key during the grass-court summer stop in SW 19. “Sometimes, of course,” he said by way of description. “It’s just part of the grind, you know.”

Hotels long ago fell into disfavor with players, who will do anything to beat the tiresome London commute down to Wimbledon. “I’ve done it (stayed close to the club) probably now for, I don’t know, 13, 14 years now, staying around the village,” said the 33-year-old. “I used to stay in a bed and breakfast. I used to stay with a family, just in one room.

“I had a flat, then a house. The last 10 years or so I had probably a house, As the entourage grew and the family grew, we needed bigger.”

But with wife, children, an assortment of nannies plus coaches, parents, physios, etc., logistics are no simple task for Team Federer these days.

“The bigger it (the house) is, the more problems you have as well because you need to clean more and you need to do more things, so you need to get organized in a different way.

“But it’s good fun. I think most of the players do it because we don’t have to beat traffic every day. Losing one and a half to two hours every day, if you want to stay in the city center, is not something people would want to do for three straight weeks.

“Maybe a week here or there, no problem, like the way I do it in Istanbul, the way I do it in Shanghai. You don’t want to have it too many weeks in a row otherwise it beats you up a bit. I think that’s another reason why people enjoy staying in the village around here.”
