With Dad off plying his trade at the BNP Paribas Open, the top-seeded Swiss revealed his four children had become the ultimate budding entrepreneurs with their very own Indian Wells pop-up venture – a lemonade stand. Federer shed light on his family’s home away from home in the desert to Tennis Channel’s Jim Courier and Justin Gimelstob. And it wasn’t all hotels and home-schooling.
