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.
