Roger Federer has just spent the ups and downs in 2020. After attending Australian Open at the beginning of the year, the Swiss tennis player underwent two knee injuries, one in February and one in June. Therefore, he had to take a break for 13 months.
In 2021, Federer officially re -appeared at Qatar Exxonmobil Open – the tournament he went to the quarterfinals. After that, the Swiss “Express train” continued to take a break until mid -May and returned to Geneva Open. He ignored both Masters 1000 tournaments, Madrid Open and Italy Open.
With Federer preparing to turn 40 years old, many fans were concerned about the prospect that he said goodbye to the ball village. However, in recent sharing before the Geneva Open, the world -class player in the world confirmed that he still had no retired plan.
“I have not thought about retiring. At the moment, my knees and my family will decide that. At this time, my plan is to return to the competition, assess my level as well as whether I can withstand pressure or not. I still have no retired plan.”Federer said.
However, Federer still has plans for the future. The 8th -class player said he really wanted to work in the field of tourism, thereby helping to promote the image of Switzerland to the world. Last April, the “express train” also decided to cooperate with Swiss Tourism, a Swiss national tourism organization as a tourism ambassador for his homeland.
“One of my favorite trails is Bernese Alps in Gstaad (Switzerland), so is Appenzell. When I was injured in 2016, I spent a lot of time on the roads in Graubunden, where I was living. It was all beautiful, but not known by many people.
One of my goals when retiring is to discover trails for mountain bikes. This subject is increasingly popular in Switzerland.
I think of a certain time, I will do this job (promoting tourism). I feel that I am always the representative of Switzerland. In the role of ambassador for the country, I always try my best. However, for me, when doing this job on the official role will be much better.
Even so, I found myself a little older to receive that responsibility, about 40 years old. I set foot in about 60 countries. Currently, I live in Switzerland and will continue here ”, Federer continued.
At 20:00 tonight, Federer will have a match at Geneva Open 2021. Due to the No. 1 seed ranked, he was exempted from the first round.
