What Did Roger Federer Say? 

This is what Roger had to say on the question of what he will be looking forward to the most once the clock stops ticking-

“I think not having such a rigid schedule in some ways. Where most of the time when you come home, I don’t wanna say where everything is somewhat planned. It’s nice for maybe, several days, not to have much. Or, I think, more than anything, it’s being able to put on the calendar, on Wednesday the 15th, we can meet up with lunch with those friends. Just way ahead of time, already look forward to those moments.”

Roger revealed that currently, most of his plans were contingent upon his tennis schedule. This meant that if he was injured, he might make plans for a get-together. However, if a sudden commitment props up, everything goes down the drain.

Post this, Roger talked about what scares him about retirement-

“I think it’s maybe not the right word as such. But, maybe I’ll miss to some extent probably the adrenaline rushes and all that. At the same time, maybe it is also a nice thing to get away from that all. So, I have the butterflies in my tummy. As beautiful as they are, when it’s all said and done, maybe it’s also nice to not have that at all, that pressure is one thing, and having to perform.”
