With the tennis tour shut down for an uncertain period due to the coronavirus pandemic, it might be tough for the tennis players to train without any end goal. World No.4 Roger Federer also does not have any clear objective to train during the global health crisis.

“Since I had surgery in 2016, I have not spent five weeks in a row at home. It has been a great time for the whole family, we have been lucky to be healthy and our family and friends are well. Sometimes we go crazy being so much time together at home, but that’s normal,” said Federer.
“The truth is I’m not training because, to be honest, I don’t see a reason to do it right now. I’m physically fine and I think it will be a long time before we compete again. It’s important for me to take a good rest now. I don’t miss tennis is so much less, although when we are close to returning and I have a goal to train, I will be super motivated,” Federer concluded.
