"I’m so happy sitting here": Federer on missing Wimbledon and life in retirement
ATPWednesday, 13 September 2023 at 02:00
Switzerland’s legendary tennis player Roger Federer has revealed that he is ‘content’ with his decision to retire from tennis.
The 42-year-old announced his retirement from the sport in September 2022 after struggling with fitness concerns for a long period of time.
Federer was quoted in a report where he stated that he is ‘content’ with his decision to retire.
“I felt very content and at peace, sitting and not playing,” he said. “Because a year before [in 2022], when there was the 100th-year celebration of Centre Court, I felt that I maybe didn’t want to be there.
“It was important for me to be there, but it was a crushing feeling I had, a twisted feeling I had. This year, I was very happy to be back there. And the people were happy to see me happy.”
Talking about his routine, Federer revealed that he regularly goes to the gym and is still in the phase of rehabbing.
“I go straight to the gym [after dropping the children off at school],” he said. “I’ve had quite a bit of knee issues, so I’m constantly rehabbing. I haven’t been able to do much cardio — mostly weights, core exercises, exercises for my quad-strengthening.
“I have a physio I’ve been with for seven years, and we see each other four times a week. He does treatments, massages, stretching, and he also runs me through exercises.”
Federer remains one of the most successful players in the history of men’s singles tennis in the Open era.
The former world number one became the first player in the history of men’s singles tennis to win more than 15 Grand Slams in his career. He was also the first to win 20 major titles in the men’s singles category.
His most successful competition was Wimbledon where he ended up winning the title eight times which is a record in the tournament’s history.
