Roger appearantly understands Italian pretty good. The interviewer speaks to Roger in Italian for the most part, but Roger answers in English.

Nice vids! I knew about the Italian. Anyone in Switzerland picks up some kind of Italian. Although not as much as Roger has. Most of the tennis players pick up some kind of other language, aside from English. So much of tennis is English. They just about have to. All the countries they travel.

Funny about tennis and pro tennis players. Many of them never finish high school because they start out so young. This is not common knowledge, but Pete Sampres never finished high school. However, many of them pick up an "education" just being in so many countries.

I'll ask my Italian speaking sister next time she's around (which will make her think that i'm even more crazy) but it looked to me like the interviewer is just translating what he's saying to Roger and Roger's replies. I don't think he's asking Roger anything in Italian because he's asking him stuff in English.
