Roger Federer enters the 2014 U.S. Open seeking his 18th Grand Slam. 

After hundreds of matches, he's probably been quoted more than any tennis player in the history of the sport. Federer's country-club swagger and debonair delivery may give fans the impression that he is all work, no play.

Of course he handles himself with class and professionalism. However, beneath the tailored attire and GQ style, Federer tucks away his quick wit and a tinge of sarcasm. 

When asked how he felt about being the face on the official U.S. Open car in 2010, a slightly annoyed Federer responded: "I can't sleep at night. It is so amazing." 

The unofficial ambassador of tennis, Federer's squeaky-clean image has made him one of the richest men in sports. The epitome of sophistication, Federer guards his brand well. 

How difficult it must be for the perceived "good guy" to bite his tongue when asked questions he considers ridiculous. More often than not, Federer provides a snappy comeback.

During one interview Federer was asked about a cow named Juliette that he had been given as a gift for winning Wimbledon. The cow had given birth to a calf. The interviewer congratulated Federer, who responded: "Thanks, but I'm not the father."

Federer is most serious when talking about competition. He respects the game and his opponents, especially his biggest rivals.  

Speaking about his rivalry with Rafael Nadal, last summer, Federer told reporters: 


There will never be a rivalry like ours. Not even that between Borg and McEnroe, despite their different personalities and one being left-handed and the other right-handed. Murray and Djokovic are very similar. Rafa and I are extreme opposites and that's what the fans like so much. Our rivalry isn't over, I'm sure it will be back, I miss it.
