Monday, July 11, 2022, in an interview with the Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagbladhe stated : “I am a lover of winning, but if you are no longer competitive, it is better to stop. I don’t think I need tennis. I’m happy with the little things, like when my son does something good and when my daughter comes home with a good grade.“In complete transparency, the sportsman confided:”Tennis is part of my identity, but not my whole identity.”

During this interview, Roger Federer shared: “I want to continue to be successful, and put a lot of energy into the business – probably giving more than I should sometimes – but that can be done outside of sport as well. I know a professional career can’t last forever and that’s ok.“Absent during the 2022 edition of the Wimbledon tournament, the tennis player preferred to put things into perspective.”I’ve been on the road for so long, it was also nice to live a little more peacefully and be in one place more often, which has already happened due to the coronavirus. It gave me the opportunity to selectively sort out my travels and give something back. A lot of friends always came to see me, now I can turn the page“, he confided.
