The 39-year-old Roger Federer turned pro in 1998, and in a career that has spanned over two decades, he has won over 100 career singles titles. Federer is slated to return to the tour in January after a 11-month layoff due to a double knee surgery.
The Swiss has played only one event this year - the Australian Open in January - but is still ranked No. 5 in the world due to the revised ranking system being used by the ATP tour.
Roger Federer added that having his team with him is extremely important to extract the most out of his potential. The Swiss’ team includes long-time coach Severin Luthi as well as former World No. 3 Ivan Ljubicic besides other members of his support staff.
Challenges are fine as long as kids are happy on the road and we have a good time: Roger Federer
Roger Federer, who will turn 40 years old next August, is usually accompanied by wife Mirka and their four kids on the road. The Swiss believes traveling with the family is challenging, but he plans to continue as long as everyone is happy and the results keep coming.
It remains to be seen how the quarantine rules in Australia next month will impact the plans of the Federer clan and team.
The Swiss added that he has been able to extend his career due to the sheer hard work on the court that he put in during his younger days. But now that he is in the twilight of his career, Roger Federer focuses on the quality, rather than the quantity of practice.
