2024 - "I don't know what his rates are": just retired, Roger Federer soon to be a consultant for France Télévisions?

While Roger Federer announced his retirement this Thursday, September 15, Nelson Monfort was invited on the set of C à Vous to pay tribute to the genius of tennis. And the journalist from France Télévisions would not be against offering a consultant position to the Swiss champion.

The king of tennis has announced that he is stepping down. This Thursday, September 15 at exactly 3:19 p.m. and when no one was expecting it so early, Roger Federer formalized his retirement in a statement shared on social networks. Aged 41 and equipped with a body that has been lacking for too long, the one who will remain for many as the best tennis player of all time has said stop. For good, after winning a whopping 20 Grand Slam tournaments.

“To my tennis family and beyond, of all the gifts tennis has given me over the years, the greatest, without a doubt, have been the people I’ve met along the way: my friends, my competitors and most importantly the fans who bring the sport to life, today I want to share some news with you all. As many of you know, the past three years have been marked by injuries and surgeries. I worked hard to get back to full competitive form. But I also know the capabilities and limitations of my body, and the message it has sent to me lately is clear. I’m 41 years old. I have played over 1500 games in 24 years. Tennis has treated me more generously than I could have ever imagined, and I now have to recognize that it is time to end my professional career“said Roger Federer, in a long press release.

Nelson Monfort: “I don’t know what his prices are”

Inevitably, this message resounding like an end clap caused a huge reaction. Roger Federer is a true legend of his sport and personalities and fans around the world will have a hard time accepting the fact that he will not step onto any tennis court anymore. Thereby, the program C à Vous has turned its program upside down to invite Nelson Monfort on his set so that the journalist from France Télévisions can talk about Roger Federer.

After recalling all his exploits in addition to paying him a moving tribute, Nelson Monfort allowed himself a little joke about the post-career of the Swiss champion. The journalist from France Télévisions seems to dream of seeing him on the antennas of the French public service. But a big problem persists according to him: “I don’t know what his prices are”, laughed Nelson Monfort, which caused a nice moment of hilarity around the table. In your opinion, will Roger Federer think about such a conversion? The bets are open.
