Roger Federer He has already been retired for a year and a half. Since his last game in the Making Cup 2022, the Swiss has made few public appearances and not much is known about his life, beyond the occasional presentation in ATP tournaments. However, in an interview that he gave to the media Southgerman newspaper from Germany, gave some details.
“Life is great. I’m very happy. The transition from an active career to later life was quite an adjustment, although it all happened quite smoothly. I had been injured a lot in previous years and everything was going slower. The pandemic added to this. My children are growing up, the boys are nine and the girls are 14. That takes a long time to organize the logistics with my wife. On Monday I booked a tennis court for me and my wife for the first time! It was fun. I also went skiing the last three weekends. This was exactly what I wanted to do when I quit.” said the winner of 20 Grand Slam tournaments.
Then, he referred to his sporadic appearances in the different tennis tournaments that he held in 2023 and that he plans to do again in the future: “I follow tennis often. Last year I attended four tournaments, in Halle, in Wimbledon, in the Laver Cup in Vancouver and Shanghai. This year I will attend three or four events again. I wanted to see for myself how tennis made me feel when I stuck my head out in a tournament again. I thought it was awesome. “I love tennis and I don’t want to get away from this sport.”

Finally, another of the topics he referred to was the Making Cup. This very special tournament for him, in which he has been very involved since its creation, will take place in 2024 in Berlin. However, although there was speculation that Federer would take charge of the European team in the short term, he gave the details of why not now: “I see myself captaining the team one day, but I’d like to see someone from the post-Rod Laver generation in this position. Someone in the 50-65 age group. These guys deserve it before it’s my turn.” .
