Roger had to make sacrifices as a parent shortly after Lenny and his sibling’s birth to maintain his career streak. He left his family at home to compete, which was a difficult decision for the tennis legend.
According to The Telegraph in May 2014, while the tennis champion felt relieved to be back on the court, he admitted that competing again was “the least important thing” and that spending time with his children was always the best choice.
