CANADA: Following his retirement last year, Roger Federer claimed he had missed everything about tennis and promised to not be a stranger to the tour despite his off-court responsibilities and the hardship of parenting two sets of twins.
Federer described his life as “intense” and “beautiful” after his farewell match in London last year and expressed his excitement to be back in front of fans following the opening day of the Laver Cup in Vancouver.
Federer expressed that he missed every aspect of the game, including thrilling moments on the court, saving break points, winning match points, holding trophies, and taking photos.
Frederer mentioned that he misses a number of the sites he used to visit on a regular basis. The Swiss former tennis player stated that one cannot have it all; he had it for 25 years and it was fantastic; he would do it all over again.
Federer said he found time to attend an Elton John performance and accepted an invitation to perform with Chris Martin and Coldplay in Zurich despite the fact that he was busy with other initiatives in addition to his work with his foundation.
The 42-year-old, who this year also attended Wimbledon, claimed that to his four children—Leo, Lenny, Myla, and Charlene—he served more as a professional driver, organiser, and logistics manager.
Federer expressed his desire to devote more time to the sport that rocketed him to fame, after previously announcing his desire to captain Team Europe in the Laver Cup one day.
“I’ve made myself a promise that I’ll be no stranger to the tour, I’ll try to come back from time to time, not all the time, but from time to time,” he concluded.
