John McEnroe talks about Roger Federer’s retirement
In a recent interview when asked about potential retiree, Roger Federer, who is making his comeback next month by playing in the Laver Cup. McEnroe said “As far as retirement, I thought that what he was going to do was he was going to play Laver Cup because he in part owns it and he wants to make that a big event, which I think it should be because it’s his name and Rod Laver’s. I thought he was going to play the Laver Cup and go to Basel, play in his hometown, and retire. That’s what I thought he was going to do.”
Further, he added, “Roger is obviously entitled to do whatever he wants. And if he feels up to it, he could do some damage. It’s hard to envision that at 41 that he could win a Major, but then again I said that six years ago when he came back after having not played for six months and having surgery at Wimbledon after the year I was with Milos and got to the finals.”
