Former World no.1 Roger Federer, or just ‘Roge’ according to him, believes that he has no other talents apart from his tennis skills. In a free-rolling interview, Federer hailed Michael Jordan and Stefan Edberg as his childhood idols and went on to pick the 2003 Wimbledon win as his favorite moment.

In an interview with Eurosport, Roger Federer has answered some interesting questions in a rapid-fire round.

Q: Childhood idol?

Federer: Michael Jordan and Stefan Edberg

Q: Hidden talent? (Ex: cooking?)

Federer: Oh, cook? No chance! That is not the hidden talent. Hidden talent? I don’t think I even have one. I am very open and honest with my answers always, so you know most about me.

Q: Best tennis memory?

Federer: Winning Wimbledon for the first time and becoming the World no.1 here (Australia) in 2004.

Q: Nickname?

Federer: A lot of people call me different names, actually. “Roge” maybe, I don’t know.

The 35-year-old, who is looking to make a strong comeback this year after struggling a lot with injuries in the past 12 months, has booked his place in the second round of the Australian Open after defeating Jurgen Melzer 7-5, 3-6, 6-2, 6-2. He will now face Noah Rubin, who came through the qualifiers, in the second round.
