Switzerland’s pride, Roger Federer has been associated with the game of tennis for well over two decades. The former world no. 1 has been one of the faces to help carry the weight of the sport. At one point, he was literally conquering everything that was up for grabs.
Federer was last seen at the Australian Open earlier this year. After that, he had to undergo a knee surgery, owing to which Roger has been off the tennis courts busy rehabilitating.
At the same time, the tennis season also came to a standstill due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Roger Federer: Had a Lot More Time as I Couldn’t Train
“When I look back, I mainly see the organizational side. Otherwise, I knew what was going on in the family, but this time I was the active one,” Roger responded. “There was a lot more time because I wasn’t allowed to train that much. That’s why everything came together for me. I really like to do that.”
The 8-time Wimbledon champion also mentioned becoming his children’s chauffer, being a good host to guests coming over. He also noted that he likes to have a great atmosphere along with some good wine.
