“Maybe You’ll See Me Again on a Court Soon”: Roger Federer Provides Exciting Update for Fans

The 20-time major champion retired in 2022.

20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer is undoubtedly one of the poster boys in the sport of tennis. Despite not being the outright leader in terms of few statistics, he inspired multiple generations to pick up a racquet and perfect their game with his gracious style of play. After making a heartbreaking retirement decision in 2022, Federer has been away from the game for a while. But now, he has dropped an exciting update that will leave fans jumping for joy.

During his time on tour, Federer won 103 singles titles (second highest in the Open Era) and 8 doubles championships. Winner of a record eight Wimbledon trophies, the Swiss maestro held the No. 1 ranking for 310 weeks – including an unbelievable streak of 237 consecutive weeks at the helm.

“I mean, the guy is great. He’s the greatest of all time to be honest. Both on the court and off the court he has such charisma, he’s just a wonderful player,” claimed the great Serena Williams on Federer in 2019. There is no doubt that Federer’s latest revelation will put a smile on her face, along with the faces of millions of fanatics around the world.

Roger Federer Admits He ‘Misses’ Tennis, Drops Big Hint for Fans

Having hung up his racquet after the Laver Cup in 2022, Roger Federer has been an onlooker in a plethora of matches on tour ever since. Yet, the waver of the magical Wilson wand naturally hasn’t made any appearances on the court – which could change very soon.

“I’d like to resume training a little,” revealed Federer in a recent interview. “I hope to redo exhibitions again, fill stadiums around the world. Nothing planned yet, but I miss it. I almost haven’t played since my retirement.” Federer went on to admit that his body needed a break – one of the big reasons for his gradual exit was a knee issue that hampered his game for multiple years.

However, he remains optimistic about the future. “I’ve played a little with my children, but I’d like to take it more seriously again. During my travels, I will get back into it. And maybe you’ll see me again on the court soon.”

🇨🇭🥹 Roger Federer says he would like to play exhibitions and fill stadiums again:

ATP Star Recounts Golfing Escapade With Federer Ahead of 2025 Munich Open

Frenchman Alexandre Muller is set to face top seed and home favourite Alexander Zverev in Round-1 of the ATP Munich Open this week. The 28-year-old told ATPTour.com about a memorable story with Federer – not on the greens of the All England Club but on the greens of a golf course.

“He [Federer] had a tee time 10 minutes before mine, so I was behind him for nine or 10 holes,” reminisced Muller. The incident took place in November 2024, when the French World No. 40 was enjoying a relaxed time on the fairways in Dubai. “For the last few holes I was with him, because the guy in front of him was a bit slow. So every time at the beginning of the hole I was with him, and we were talking a little bit. It was cool.”

While Muller takes to court on Monday, Federer himself will hopefully return to court very soon. Would you like to see a potential Roger vs Rafa tussle once more?
