With the coronavirus spreading fast, it looks like we might not see any tennis in the year 2020. On whether Roger would continue in 2021, Ljubicic said,
“We have not talked yet about 2021. Time certainly does not stop and he will be 40 next year, but he has not hinted about a possible retirement. Federer had undergone knee surgery in late February and had planned to miss the season until the grass-court season prior to the tennis tour shutting down.”

Roger has already confirmed he will play at the Halle Open in 2021. That should clear up any questions of retirement in the near future at the very least. Roger Federer will probably continue to play even after 2021 as he is motivated by one thing – holding the record for the most Grand Slam titles in tennis.
This record is under threat by Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic who have gotten very close. Federer will want to make sure he keeps hold of that record, which will surely play a major role in deciding the GOAT in tennis. So, Federer fans need not worry as the Swiss star is not retiring any time soon.
