Roger Federer took part in a Q&A on Tuesday evening on Twitter in which he answered questions on a variety of topics including what he missed about the tour and also his future plans to commentate.

Since prior to his retirement, Federer has supposedly been speaking to the BBC about working on commentary at Wimbledon especially given Boris Becker who has been a staple of the coverage not being allowed into the UK after his prison stint.

But he said that he has 'no plans to commentate this year' which ends those rumors for now. 

He said on playing Nadal 'yes and no' in terms of missing playing him and on what he missed: "What I miss most: having a spontaneous dinner out on tour with friends after a match or practice. and of course the big stadiums, fans and the thrill of it all."

As well as plans to play exhibitions in the future in South America. "I'd love to play exhibitions in the future and if so, coming to South America again would be amazing."
