I play two to three times a week": Federer reassures his fans three years after his retirement
Still present in the world of tennis, the Basel native revealed that he still trains regularly and has been regaining his form. Enough to thrill fans who hope to see him with a racket in hand during exhibitions.
Three years ago, the tennis world bid farewell to the legend Roger Federer. The Swiss, a twenty-time Grand Slam winner, retired during the Laver Cup in London.
Present this weekend in San Francisco for the eighth edition of the event, Federer has been giving numerous interviews. For Tennis Channel, he discussed how often he plays tennis today:
"I'm trying to stay in shape. I've played a lot of golf. It was also a necessary break to give my knee some rest. Now, I try to play two to three times a week, play a few points, and regain my feel.
Every time I go on the court with my children, I start serving because it's something that loses fluidity quite quickly.
But I must admit, I feel pretty good, and I'm happy to see that my body is still in good shape three years later. I can see that this break has paid off because it was quite difficult after my retirement.
