Here is what he had to say in the exchange with fans.

When do you plan to retire from tennis?

When I stop playing tennis, which I hope will not be for a very long time, I plan to dedicate a lot of time to my foundation. I will also get involved with some businesses I enjoy and try to continue to give back to tennis. I will also try to catch up with my family and friends that I don’t get to see very often and I will make sure I am a great Dad and husband.

But, I don’t like to think about life after tennis as I am enjoying the sport so much now and don’t see stopping anytime soon.

How do you feel about the new Centre Court roof?

I think the new center court roof is great. The AELTC was able to keep the old, traditional elements of center court intact and add a very modern element..the roof! Tennis has become so global and it is now great that many of the fans who come on site to watch the tennis and the millions of fans around the world can watch live tennis all the time.

I have not yet had a chance to play a match under the roof, but I am excited to do so in the future. The days of rain delays are now over!

Final question as I have to hit the sack now - Hi, i am a national level tournament player in the 12s. What do you think is the most important part of my game to develop at this age.

Obviously, passion is key, coordination is important as well so to also mix in different sports is a good idea. But keep an eye on what you could improve physically already and see where your potential is so you can work on your weaker points for later in your game. I always thought having a long term goal is important as a junior.

Having good support from coaches is important and they will help you lead the way. I know that it is a cliché, but there is no substitute for hard work and dedication. This is vital.

I think it is pretty neat that Federer found time to connect with his fans on the social networking site and shows how these types of sites can be utilized to bring the game to fans in a revolutionary way.
