Roger Federer has been one of the greatest players in tennis, ever. The Swiss Maestro has performed at an elite level for over two decades. Over the past few years, however, Roger has been struggling with frequent injuries. Adding those injuries to the fact that he recently turned 40, talk of his retirement is inevitable. In a recent interview, Roger Federer revealed the best possible way of ending his professional career.

Federer is aware of the inevitable situation, but he wants to choose it by himself.

The 2021 season hasn’t been the best for the 20 time Grand Slam champion, Federer. He withdrew from two Grand Slam tournaments in 2021. After Wimbledon, he had to undergo another knee surgery.

In the interview, the question popped up regarding best way for him to retire. Federer said, “That doesn’t exist for me! But I wish that I can choose the moment myself. I am sure I will know when that moment comes. I am not afraid of the time after my professional career. It will be a smooth transition.”
