If the year had started well for Roger Federer, with a defeat in the semi-finals of theAustralian Open in front of Novak Djokovic, over the weeks it has turned into a nightmare. Initially removed a few months for an injury which occurred shortly after his win against Rafael Nadal during the Match For Africa in early February, the Swiss unfortunately relapsed last June, forcing him to prematurely end his season. If, at age 39, many feared retirement from Roger Federer, the Swiss recently confirmed his attendance at the 2021 Australian Open, and seems determined to fight for his return.
“I will not retire sooner”
“I am still fighting for my return, I want to come back to the tennis court. I would love to play with the legends of the game and the best players. And I feel that maybe there is a little more left in me. I’m definitely not going to be retiring from the game just yet. But it’s fun to be an entrepreneur, a philanthropist, a tennis player and all that. But, no, I’m not going to retire sooner ” so declared Roger Federer, in comments relayed by essentiallysports.
