Roger Federer has his millions and his record-breaking array of titles. But the Swiss world No. 1 says that it's the on-court thrills which keep his momentum alive in a sport where he dominates.
"Love for the game, like it's always been," the Swiss said of his motivation after crushing Lleyton Hewitt to reach another Australian Open quarter-final. "There's always ways to motivate and challenge yourself."
Added the game's best-paid player: "I've never really been in it for the money anyway.
"It's always been my dream to play on the biggest stages around the world, especially Wimbledon."
The 15-time Grand Slam champion's latest goal is winning a fourth title at Melbourne Park after losing the final a year ago in five long sets to Rafael Nadal, himself still hot in the title chase.
"I've lived through many more things than I ever thought I would, so I feel very fortunate," said Federer. "I'm looking forward to many more years hopefully on tour."

i hope his millions are not stored in US dollars, because the US dollar is getting weaker by the day.
