However, due to the pandemic and its effects, he has not found it ideal to have his kids along.
The 2009 French Open champion stated, “My first thought with Mirka is to get through Wimbledon and see how it feels and we go from there. Our initial goal is to get in shape for the grass-court, Wimbledon in particular. But so far so good, everything’s okay with Mirka has got things under control. The kids are not completely misbehaved yet.”
Roger Federer is ready to adhere to situations at different venues
Whatever decision he takes, it will be with his wife, Mirka Federer’s consent. The situation with the pandemic differs in each city.
In Doha, the restrictions were lesser compared to Paris and other European cities. At the same time, the Swiss maestro fully supports the necessary protocols and is happy to comply with them.

The 39-year-old further added, “But it’s true it’s completely different from Doha actually the bubble was somewhat okay for the players but it is so different here. I don’t know where to start. In Geneva, I could stay with my family but there was a lot of testing going on-site, I’m all for it but I cannot keep my children in one room for four weeks, it’s just not going to work.”
Coming to tennis, the 20-time Grand Slam winner will be up against German player Dominik Koepfer. It will be interesting to see if he can make it to the second week at the French Open 2021.
