My daughters do not have a mobile phone— Federer

Roger Federer’s daughters, Myla and Charlene, are nine years old but they do not use any mobile phone.

In an interview to Baz Online, the 37-year-old explained how he and his wife Mirka manage to make their children stay away from social media and stuff.

‘There is so much here, we often stay together like a family and we see our friends regularly’, said Federer. ‘That’s why it’s not so necessary. I know: it would be easy to give them a mobile phone.

“But I would like to make it happen as late as possible, so that they grow like me. Yeah, they have a very different life but I may give them a little bit more normality. They do not push it (laughter). I do not want to be totally contrary on it, the mobile phone gives us a lot of advantages.
