If tennis super star Roger Federer was hoping his 2-year-old identical twin daughters were gonna grow up to be the next Venus and Serena Williams he might be the teeniest bit discouraged.
At Saturday’s US Open press conference in New York after defeating Marin Cilic of Croatia the world famous athlete admitted that Myla Rose and Charlene Riva:
“will pick up their doll instead of a tennis racket and be happy with that. They try hard [with a racket] but they get discouraged after 30 seconds. They don’t try to imitate me either.”
For now the girls fave activity is swimming – but Roger still hasn’t given up hope. He says:
“Maybe in the next six months, I think there’s going to be a lot of changes. They will be more into activities.”
Fair enough. most 2-year-olds are only into things they can put in their mouth and make noise. We’re sure no matter what the girls end up pursuing they’ll have the full support of their dad!
