Swiss legend Roger Federer admitted in a recent interview with Reuters, that the only two sports apart from tennis he watched live, when he was at the Olympic Games in Sydney, were swimming and badminton.

REUTERS: What’s your programme like at the Olympics? Do you have time to watch other sports and socialise with other athletes?

FEDERER: “I tried to. I went to watch swimming and badminton in Australia with Mirka even though we weren’t together yet but we just went. That’s been the disappointing part for me really because I don’t remember going in Athens and Beijing to see any other sports because we didn’t have any time.
