Roger Federer bid farewell to tennis last year, and millions of tennis fans had tears in their eyes when bidding goodbye to their legend. Now, he is still an integral part of the sport, but in the capacity of a guest or attendee. Now that he doesn’t have to travel constantly for the sport, he talked about what he misses the most from being on tour. 

As Roger Federer misses the tour, the tour misses him as well. He returned to Wimbledon this year as an attendee and got a seat in the Royal Box. His presence was immensely loved by the fans who missed him on the tour. It reminded the Swiss Maestro about his time playing professional tennis even more. 

Roger Federer reveals what he misses most about the tour

During his prime, all fans of the sport loved watching the 20-time grand slam champion play on tour. No matter their favorite player, everyone wanted to see the former number 1 in action. Now that he has retired, the Swiss player is trying to find ways in which he can fill up his schedule. But he still misses being on tour often. Recently, in an interview with Eurosport, he revealed what he misses the most about the buzz of the sport.

“Secretly, you like to be the centre of attention, but at the same time, it doesn’t matter anymore. It’s good the way it is right now. Of course, I miss seeing the happy faces of people hopefully I was able to entertain. The tour was good to me. I loved it, every moment, but I am happy retired now.”
