One day after joining Twitter, Federer conducted an 'AMA' (or “Ask Me Anything”) session on Reddit, where fans posted all kinds of questions on Friday and Federer answered a select few.

Hundreds of questions were thrown at him but he chose to answer only a select few.

He answered questions for about 45 minutes after which he concluded with a promise for more such sessions.

Roger still has more records in his sights and answers to one of the questions by saying, "Any record is welcome," he wrote. "8 Wimbledons would be great. I'd also love to win another ATP World Tour final. And getting back to World #1."

He also lists the most difficult matches of his career:

1. 2003 Davis Cup semifinal vs. Lleyton Hewitt, who came back to beat Federer 5-7, 2-6, 7-6 (4), 7-5, 6-1 to help Australia eliminate Switzerland.

2. 2012 London Olympics semifinal against Juan Martin del Potro. Federer won 3-6, 7-6 (5), 19-17.

3. 2009 Wimbledon final against Andy Roddick. Federer won 5-7, 7-6 (6), 7-6 (5), 3-6, 16-14 for his record 15th Grand Slam title.

4. 2005 ATP World Tour Finals championship match against David Nalbandian. The Argentine rallied to win 6-7 (4), 6-7 (11), 6-2, 6-1, 7-6 (3), ending Federer’s 35-match winning streak overall and 24-match winning streak in finals.

5. 2008 Wimbledon final against Rafael Nadal, who prevailed 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-7 (8), 9-7. “One of the greatest matches I’ve been a part of,” Federer said on Reddit.

He also responded to some personal questions. When one asked about how he managed to keep his hair so perfect, he answered, "I really don't. I fight it every day like everybody else. But thanks."
When asked about the incident when he hit a guy with a can, he said, " It takes a lot of practice. Kids, I wouldn't try that at home ;)
