Tennis needs something more from Roger Federer.

At an event hosted by Uniqlo in Tokyo, Roger Federer expressed a desire to hold performances in the future. Federer explained: “I would really like to go play places I’ve never been and thank the fans who have supported me throughout my career.

However, my knee is still not in perfect condition and I have to be patient. For now, I’m a little reluctant to practice other sports. The doctors advised me to be careful and wait a few months to see how the situation develops.”

“I would also like to take my children to Africa. In the past, vacations always had to be something relaxing after many months of tennis. Now that I am retired, we can also organize vacations that are a little more adventurous. “

Roger Federer’s future may not be so far off the court.

The Swiss will not be content to participate in exhibitions once his knee is restored. Tennis needs something more from its status.

Not on the court, but in another role. Roger is the perfect ambassador for tennis around the world, and he can and should aim to keep interest in tennis alive after the Big-3 retires.

In addition, a coaching role would allow anyone nostalgic for this incredible era of tennis to project themselves into the future with still solid roots. Seeing Roger in the box of a few young talents would be an immeasurable treasure for tennis in the years to come.

Federer’s retirement.

Recently, Stan Wawrinka had nice words for his illustrious compatriot: “When I arrived on the circuit, Federer was already at the top. I immediately saw him as a big brother.

We often trained together and he gave me a big helping hand. I owe him a lot.” After 24 years of career, Roger Federer retired last September due to the precarious state of his right knee.

The Swiss tried by all means to return to the circuit, but his physique sent him clear signals and the king had to accept the reality. The former world No. 1 attempted a tentative comeback last year, playing just 13 official matches and stopping again after Wimbledon.

Through a letter posted on Instagram on September 15, the 20-time Grand Slam champion announced his decision to retire. The Basel maestro played the last game of his career alongside his great rival Rafael Nadal at the Laver Cup, an exhibition he himself founded in 2017.

Roger received a splendid tribute at the end of the match, which served to certify the enormous impact he had on the sport over the past two decades.
