Roger Federer says that winning a gold medal in singles at the 2012 Olympic Games in London is one of his major remaining goals.
"I've now carried the flag twice, in Beijing and Athens, and it's always been a dream for me to play for my country and to win an Olympic gold,” Federer told Reuters. “I already have one [a doubles gold medal with Stan Wawrinka] but still, the special part of having it at Wimbledon will be amazing."
Federer also said that he’s not ruling out playing in 2016 in Brazil, even though he’ll be 35 years old then. When asked what his most memorable Olympic memory was, meeting his wife Mirka during the 2000 Games or winning the doubles gold in Beijing, he responded with a laugh: “That's why I've had very emotional Olympics. "I couldn't choose but obviously Mirka is long-lasting, I've had 10 incredible years with her, I've two beautiful kids with her so I guess that's my number one pick."—Matthew Cronin
