What did Roger Federer say? 

Federer did not go into the details of his decision. However, this is what we can infer for now – the quarantine period gave him a lot of time to think and re-prioritize.

Roger revealed that his injury, along with the quarantine break, gave him a lot of time to talk with his loved ones and be with his family. He has now developed a new perspective to look at things and the way he wants people to remember his legacy.

Roger revealed that he had achieved all he wanted from his illustrious career. In fact, he had no interest in pursuing a grand slam race. He praised fellow Big 3 stars, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djoković.

On a lighter note, he hoped that one of them soon overtakes him. However, there was one piece of information that proved to be the most interesting.
