Roger Federer enjoying retirement but with a caveat: "I have to be careful I don't do too many things"

Former world number one Switzerland’s
Roger Federer has opened up about his post-retirement life.
The 42-year-old ended his
illustrious career at the highest level in September last year after struggling
with injury concerns for a long period of time.
Federer has been recently quoted
in a report where he opened up about how difficult it was to spend a normal life
where competing at the highest level was not the primary objective.
"That's a good question, I am
not sure what I thought it was going to be,” he said. “I just, I think I was
open to the idea to see, let's find out. I did not have any plans per se
because you know I was trying to always come back and all of a sudden, I
realised, 'That's it'.
"And then I am like, 'Okay,
well it's over and what now?' And so I think now, since six months, I feel like
I am more in charge of my schedule. Whereas before, I was still just, how do
you say, it was more the afterburn of having just retired.
"So it's been good honestly,
I have to be careful I don't do too many things, you know? But at the same
time, I am really happy to be busy and I like being with other people, love
being with my family, and I love to travel. But I guess sometimes, I try to make
sure I get the right balance and I feel like I have that, so, things are great.”
Federer is often termed as one of
the greatest players in the history of men’s singles tennis, having won as many
as 20 Grand Slam titles. He was also the first player in the men’s singles
history in the Open era to win more than 15 Grand Slams.

- He's a Cool Dude (and very funny guy). Always fun to be in the presence of Tomasz. Something he mentioned here is what many who have coached at any level can relate to -- "the crazy parents committee". It relates to my coaching experiences in kid's sports. My #1 complaint about coaching kids is Problem Parents!! It can be a very abusive, even violent situation with many parents when it comes to their kid's sports. In the end, it was no longer worth the potential (all too common) altercations for me and I quit. But thanks to Tomasz, I now have a name for those (you?) people: The Crazy Parents Committee.mandoist26-09-2024
- She's no longer a tennis player; apparently it wasn't a priority. So why the publicity?mandoist26-09-2024
