The world saw Roger Federer last, all the way back in Wimbledon in July 2021. The Swiss maestro has had his knee operated on twice now- no doubt a toll that years of playing phenomenal tennis took on him. However, he still continues to be a part of tennis conversations almost every day.

It is either speculation surrounding his return, his health, or just the next-gen stars talking about the FedExpress as their inspiration. But in some way or another, Roger Federer remains a very active part of the tennis fraternity.

World No. 13 Diego Schwartzman talked about ‘His Majesty’ today. He revealed that he has always been a fan of Roger Federer. Furthermore, he expressed a particular desire regarding seeing Federer on the court.

In an interview with the ESPN Playroom, Schwartzmann spoke about Roger Federer. Acknowledging the 20-time Grand Slam champion’s age, Schwartzman stated how that leaves a lot less room for recovery.

He further went on to appreciate Federer’s mindset. For Schwartzman, Federer continues to want to beat everyone. Consequently, he still plays as hard as possible, which ultimately, and sadly, leads to injuries for the living legend.
