Federer revealed he cried while playing tennis too. He was in tears when he lost to Tommy Haas in the 2000 Sydney Olympics. "I went to a corner like a kid and I did not manage to stop crying for a long time.
It left a mark on me." The day after, Federer lost to the Frenchman Arnaud Di Pasquale. "I cried all day again. Same night, I met Mirka and I gave her the first kiss, so it went well," he added.
