Unlike always, this time Roger Federer's kids were dishing out tips for him.
After cruising into the Australian Open quarter-finals with a 6-2 6-1 6-4 victory against 15th-seeded Belgian David Goffin, Federer, in an interview, spoke about the advices he get from his twin six-year-old daughters Myla Rose and Charlene Riva, reports News.com.au.
The 34-year-old tennis champ spoke about the very unusual advice his children passed on to him to mix it up a little on court.
