Roger Federer continues to keep a keen eye on tennis despite retiring from the sport at the 2022 Laver Cup.<\/p>\n

Federer<\/a> called time on his glittering career at the London event three years ago, with the Swiss star now back at the Laver Cup<\/a> this week.<\/p>\n

The latest edition of the tournament is currently underway in San Francisco, while it makes a return to London next year.<\/p>\n

Federer caught up with Joao Fonseca<\/a> at this year\u2019s competition, although the Brazilian youngster is representing Team World, while the Swiss legend represented Team Europe.<\/p>\n

The veteran made four appearances at the Laver Cup, claiming 18 points for his side from his 12 matches played.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s now in a spectator role at San Francisco\u2019s Chase Center, although Federer has been fine-tuning his tennis game behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

The 103-time ATP<\/a> champion told Tennis Channel: \u201cI\u2019m trying to be in good shape. I played a ton of golf. That was also the time to give my knee a good rest.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd now I\u2019m trying to play [tennis] like two or three times a week, get back on the court and also play some points and all that, just to get the feel for it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the good thing is I\u2019ve always served every time I go on court with my children, I try to hit some serves, because that thing gets really rusty quickly. \u201cBut I must say, I think I\u2019m actually feeling pretty good. I\u2019m really happy three years later that my body is still as good as it is.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I think now I can really start feeling the benefits of having given it a break, because the first couple of years right after retiring was tough.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roger Federer explains why life after tennis retirement is \u2018good and bad\u2019<\/p>\n

Federer delved further into retirement life, which has proven to be bittersweet thus far for the 20-time Grand Slam champion.<\/p>\n

He explained: \u201cWell I miss the camaraderie. So actually in a week like here when I\u2019m in and out of the locker room, I just got into the locker room before with Pat [Rafter] and Andre [Agassi], and they say \u2018come sit down now, we need to talk to you for a second.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I sit down and we have a quick banter chat for like five minutes. That\u2019s what I miss the most. Sure, you miss the two minutes where it says game, set and match Federer and you win Wimbledon, and you\u2019re like, \u2018okay that\u2019s kind of cool\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it kind of evaporates really quickly. So I think it\u2019s just life on the road and seeing my friends, going to dinners and just hanging out on the road.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I miss that. And life in retirement is great. I don\u2019t have to train through a practice when I\u2019m not feeling great.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have to play a match when my body\u2019s aching, so it\u2019s good and bad, but I, of course, miss many things.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Federer may not always miss tennis, it\u2019s fair to say that tennis misses him, although it seems that his on-court endeavours may not be finished just yet.<\/p>\n

There is a potential Federer comeback on the cards,<\/a> which would simply send all tennis fans into a frenzy.<\/p>\n

He would be welcomed back onto the court with open arms, and given how often he\u2019s currently playing, it\u2019s fair to say he would still be a formidable opponent even at the age of 44.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Roger Federer continues to keep a keen eye on tennis despite retiring from the sport at the 2022…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":173629,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[430,51059,4037,99,428],"class_list":{"0":"post-173628","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-atp","9":"tag-laver-cup","10":"tag-roger-federer","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-tennis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173628","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=173628"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173628\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/173629"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=173628"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=173628"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=173628"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
