I want to be successful and stay successful, put all my energy into the business, although sometimes I give more than I deserve, but it can also be done outside of sport. I know that a professional career can’t last forever and that’s okay, I accept that. “
The champion of 20 Grand Slam titles believes he is ready to leave tennis. “I would love to win but if you are no longer competitive it is better to stop. I don’t think I need tennis, I’m happy with small thingsLike when my child does well or when my child gets a good grade in school, ”he explained.

Many friends always come to me, now I have been able to go and visit them. Tennis travel is sometimes excessive, especially if you have to arrange it with the kids. It’s nice to rest now on all that, also for them, although they miss traveling ”.
Finally, Federer said that it’s “a strange feeling not to play Wimbledon this year, to see it on television. In the end, I am a person who has been here since 1998. But I was traveling all this time and that was also nice, I was able to experience a little more peace and spend more consecutive days in the same place. ”
