Roger Federer Confirms No Return to Tennis – I’m Happy Retired
For those hoping Roger Federer might reconsider his retirement, the 20-time Grand Slam champion has made it clear: it’s time to let go of that dream, as he firmly asserts he’s done with professional tennis for good.
We caught up with the 42-year-old tennis legend in New York City this week, and despite officially retiring in 2022, he still drew a crowd of adoring fans eager for a glimpse.
Federer, signing autographs and engaging with the crowd, addressed any speculation about a potential return to the sport.
When asked if he felt any desire to come out of retirement, he gave a decisive “NO!” and added, “Happy retired,” as he entered his car.
Federer’s last appearance on the court was a poignant moment at the Laver Cup in September 2022, where he partnered with long-time friend and rival Rafael Nadal.
The duo faced Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe, marking Federer’s final professional match with a loss but an emotional farewell.
During his illustrious career, Federer amassed 1,251 match wins and claimed 103 titles. His on-court earnings totaled $130 million, with his endorsement deals significantly boosting his wealth.
For fans missing his presence, there’s a silver lining: a documentary about Federer will be released on Prime Video on June 20.
This documentary offers an intimate look at the last 12 days of his historic career, providing a heartfelt retrospective on his incredible journey in tennis.
