Roger Federer once revealed if any of his four children want to pursue a professional tennis career, he'd send them to rival Rafa Nadal's Academy in Mallorca to train.
Does the 37-year-old Federer ever envision a coaching future for himself?

The 20-time Grand Slam champion doesn't see himself committing to a full-time coaching future, but does believe he could mentor players in the future.
"Possible but doubtful, just because I have four children and I'm happy to be home after traveling for 20 years or more, 25 years," Federer said after his Miami Open fourth-round win over Daniil Medvedev. "I just don't see myself doing it for 20 weeks of the year coaching. I just don't see that happening, you know.
"But then again, I think (Stefan) Edberg also didn't think he was going to coach again. And I don't have to do it right away, either."
Federer often hits with rising young players when training in Dubai and suggested he could serve as a mentor after his playing days are done.
"So I can maybe mentor more or have players come around. Who knows?" Federer said. "I would love to stay involved in the game but probably not 30 weeks on the road. Let's be honest."
