Having played his last tournament at the Australian Open 2020, Roger Federer had announced that he would pull out of the remaining 2020 season because of a right knee injury. After going through arthroscopic surgery on his knee in February, Federer started working on his rehabilitation plan and vowed to return for the 2021 season.

Recently, the 20-time Grand Slam champion participated in the On running Chinese Taobao Tmall live event to introduce a special edition for the “Double11” shopping event. During the interaction, the host asked Federer about his favorite TV shows and if he was watching any show at present.

“Haven’t watched a single show”: Roger Federer

The Swiss Maestro revealed that he hasn’t watched a single TV show during the lockdown. The former World No.1 admitted that he spent his time with his kids and chatting with his family at home.

However, he talked about watching Prison Break, Lost, and Entourage a long time ago. Funnily enough, Federer acknowledged that he has watched a few shows in recent times but doesn’t remember their names.

“The thing is, during lockdown, I am sure everybody has been watching a lot of the TV shows. But for some reason, I haven’t watched one.  I have always been either on a phone call or with the kiddies. I am tired at the end of the day and we go to bed or we just chat away at home. I remember watching Prison Break, Lost, and Entourage, but this is a long ago, so I feel embarrassing. I have seen some good ones in the meantime but don’t remember what they were called,” replied Federer.

Despite the tennis action getting truncated because of the coronavirus pandemic, it came as a blessing in disguise for Federer. Due to the disruption caused by COVID-19, the ATP revised its rankings system, which meant that Federer would not lose any ranking points.

As Rafael Nadal aims to break Federer’s Grand Slam record and Novak Djokovic inches closer towards Federer’s record of most weeks spent at No.1, the 2021 season will be the most exciting to watch.
