“Hey guys,I just wanted to show you a little glimpse of how I’m practising at home. Again, against the wall, like in the old days. Staying active at home, very important at the moment. Maybe even working on the trick shots once in a while. But seriously now I  think it’s very important, more important than ever that we listen to local government. You know we adapt to the new situation. And we try our best. I’ll keep practising in the meantime. Maybe go for a run later and play against the wall like in the olden days.”

Roger Federer has only one goal in his mind at the moment. He wants to elongate his career as much as possible. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, he is losing a very crucial year of his career.
