Roger Federer is not getting any younger but his desire remains up there with the top players in the sport of tennis and he has set his stall out to continue that in 2020.

Federer said that he would like to change losing out late like he did at times this year but that he'd like to add another major crown including potentially the Olympics to his collection again when the 2020 season starts in a few weeks.

“Obviously after the year that I have had where I played really good. I felt good physically, did not have many issues apart from a little something at the US Open and little things here and there that are not worth mentioning. Beating Novak at the US Open and Rafa at Wimbledon, playing good tennis all round but just missing out on the big one, I would like to change that," said Federer.

"I have to go back to the drawing board with my team. I need to train really hard and I think that would be a goal of mine, trying to win one of the big five titles plus the Olympics, which is six. One of those six chances I would like to take. I know that the French Open is always going to be more difficult, but any other title is a great feeling because I know how it feels, even winning the Hopman Cup, Laver Cup and all other events that I won like Dubai, Miami and Halle."

"It is just nice to win tennis events and leaving them as the winner. I think that the goal has to be to win as many titles as possible. If I can take home a big one, preferably Wimbledon, the US Open, the Australian Open, the Olympic Games whatever it may be, it would be amazing”, revealed Federer.
