Roger Federer is at the end of his career. He turns 39 this year and Roger is trying his best to extend his career. It is confirmed that he won’t retire before 2021 as he has decided to play the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.

Fans and media have been speculating that Federer might retire this year, but that rumor has been squashed by Federer and his coaches itself. And again in a recent interview, Federer spoke about the rumors around his retirement.

“Since I won the French Open in 2009, the media has been chopping on this topic” – Roger Federer

In an interview with SportsPanorama, Roger was asked various questions regarding his knee and plans for the future. The Swiss master said that rumors around him retiring have been there since 2009 in the media. 2009 is a significant year in Federer’s career. He completed the career grand slam by finally winning the French Open. He then won Wimbledon to surpass the then Grand Slam record of 14 by Pete Sampras. So as he won it all, it was always speculated he would retire.

“Since I won the French Open in 2009, the media has been chopping on this topic. But it is already clear that I am at the end of my career.” Federer said. (quotes have been translated from German using Google Translation)
