"A little bit weird, you know, to have it once I was retired": Roger Federer describes strange feeling of finally setting up gym post retirement

Former Switzerland’s legendary tennis star Roger Federer has revealed that he finally has a gym after retiring from the sport.
The 42-year-old ended his illustrious career at the highest level last year in September after struggling with fitness concerns for a long time.
Federer was recently quoted in a report where he stated that he finally has a gym at home after retiring from the sport, something he still could not believe.
"I am trying to go to the gym three times a week, which I can't believe I'm actually doing,” he said. “I rent space like this at home and put some machines in, and I got it literally the week after the Laver Cup in London. So it was like, after my career, I finally had a gym, a little bit weird, you know, to have it once I was retired.
"Now have to use it, so I do that. I don't, you know, maybe play so much tennis anymore, so have to be a little bit more careful with what I eat and stuff and I still like to play some exos [exhibition matches] down the road. So I want to stay in shape, you know. Try to look good a little bit.
"I just do everything. Cardio, some weight training. Then more core exercises, a lot of that, which is also good for the back. You have to be careful. I think when you move less, the body hurts more. So I think moving a bit is always good. It makes me feel better for sure.”
Federer is often regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of men’s singles tennis in the Open era, having won as many as 20 Grand Slam titles.
He was the first men’s singles player to lift more than 15 major titles and was also the first to win 20 Grand Slams in his career.
