Roger Federer may be one of tennis’ greats, but don’t expect him to push his kids to follow in his footsteps.

In a wide-ranging interview with the BBC, Federer said that he didn’t even know if they would take up the sport.

From the BBC:

“I don’t know if the kids are ever going to play tennis at a high level like that,” said Federer. “Honestly, I think it all depends on how things are going to be when we settle in Switzerland, and what sport they are going to take up. But I think for any kid it’s important for them… to enjoy what they’re doing, whatever sport that is.

Federer’s wife, Mirka, gave birth to the couple’s second set of twins earlier this year.
