Not on court, silly. He won against Hewitt in 3 sets. No, I was just looking at the interview transcript of his <a href=”http://www.wimbledon.org/en_GB/news/interviews/2005-07-01/200507011120233727045.html”>press conference</a> afterwards, and it finished rather weirdly:<br />
<br />
“Q. I don’t have any information about Juliette.<br />
<br />
ROGER FEDERER: Me either.<br />
<br />
Q. Why? Is your own animal. You don’t have information about her? You deserting her?<br />
<br />
ROGER FEDERER: You’re the media guy. You have to find out.<br />
<br />
Q. I’m not the media guy. I’m a novelist.<br />
<br />
ROGER FEDERER: Well, I can’t give you any updates. I’m really sorry.<br />
<br />
Q. You never take her to try with the Wimbledon grass, if she likes?<br />
<br />
ROGER FEDERER: No, not really.<br />
<br />
Q. What a pity.<br />
<br />
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah (smiling).”<br />
<br />
Ok, that’s just odd. What’s a novelist doing in a press conference? And why is he obessed with the cow that was given to Federer for winning Wimbledon in 2003?<br />
