Federer said he did not feel any added pressure to lead an unblemished life, revealing it was important for him to uphold the principles of fair play, respect for the game and his rivals.

"I just try to be myself, not change for the press or the public or the fans," he added.

"If they like me, that's great. If they don't, that's too bad.

"Sure, I'm doing a lot of press conferences, and not being able to hide on the tennis court is not an easy thing sometimes. But I think I've done well over the years."

Woods has lost a number of endorsements since the infamous car crash, with Gillette announcing on 12 December that it would limit Woods's role in its marketing while the champion took time off to deal with his personal life.

Two days later the giant management consultancy firm Accenture ended its sponsorship with Woods, saying the golfer was "no longer the right representative".

Telecoms giant AT&T and the watchmaker Tag Heuer have scaled down its use of the star, while drinks manufacturer Gatorade discontinued a line of Tiger Woods-branded energy drinks.

  In an interview published on Friday by French sports daily L'Equipe, Federer said Woods "needs calm".

"The tabloids are going crazy, sponsor contracts are falling apart ... I've always been aware that the image you patiently construct for an entire career can be ruined in a minute," stated Federer.

"It scares you a bit, but that's the way things are.

"Tiger needs calm. And soon he'll become the wonderful golfer that we know again."
