Yeah it looks like Federer really is hungry for more titles and a chance to win another slam. He's working really hard in practice

Federer is not training in Croatia. He's been vacationing and hasn't trained at all since Wimbledon. He just doesn't want it that much anymore. I expect him to pull the plug on the American hard court swing in the coming days or weeks.

Sadly I think there's merit in this view. Yesterday he was wandering around in Croatia carrying Mirka's purse and not training.

I am okay with that. Rest up mentally and physically and give it one last go next year. I think he knows he is done, but I don't see him having a sampras odd exit.Sadly I think there's merit in this view. Yesterday he was wandering around in Croatia carrying Mirka's purse and not training.

Guess we will know in a week's time. Toronto starts in ten days and Federer is still listed.
No way he bothers with Toronto anyway

I don't think he'll ever play in Canada again due to their hideous scheduling of him the last 2 times he played it. They had him playing the last night match which ended after midnight and then had him scheduled at noon the next day. Fed did a bit of grumbling about that publicly, imagine what he said privately. There's very little chance he'll play ever again in Toronto/Montreal.

Well, it’s not like he’s in his early 30s… like Sampras was.

Yeah...I had mentioned Toronto only because he was listed and we are sort of clueless as to what the immediate future beholds...But it will be surprising if he plays...

When is he coming back on tour, if at all? There hasn't been a single hardcourt practice photo since Wimbledon and he's listed as 7th seed for Toronto next week

Seems quite odd that we haven't had confirmation of Toronto yet doesn't it? I would have thought if Roger has no intention of playing there, he would have withdrawn.
But given that the tournament starts on Monday, if he was going to play surely we'd expect to hear something also ...
Not sure what to make of it.

Nothing odd about it I feel. He will probably announce his withdrawal before the weekend. The only surprise is if he opts to play. If he does/did, he would most likely be on a plane right now.

Federer is not playing anything this summer I don't think. He's not in shape and in my opinion he has become afraid of novak and rafa. Something happened to roger mentally with that last surgery and he is having trouble overcoming it. So no, I do not think we will see him on the court this summer.

It is also his 40th birthday on Sunday. I would assume he would celebrate this big one with family in Switzerland rather than travel to Canada right now, where his family couldn't join him as of yet with restrictions.

I believe this is an old picture. Federer has been in Croatia for weeks doing absolutely nothing except vacationing. Also, if he can only go 75%in practice or fitness training then it's definitely time to get out of the game and retire

Yeah, but all the more baffling why he hasn't withdrawn.

With Fed skipping all HC tourneys leading up to USO, I think that means he is done for the year.
No reason to play without any lead up play.
Move on to 22.

Expected withdrawal. But a little sad he’s not even ready for Cincy. Most likely means he’s out of the USO. Wonder why he hasn’t pulled out yet. Makes me think if he’s hoping against hope to make it to the open. Better shut up shop and come back fresh for the Aussie open imo

C'mon Federer fans, get yourself vaccinated. I've also been vaccinated with Pfizer like Roger.
Roger Federer was vaccinated with Pfizer.
Roger Federer has confirmed he has recieved a Covid-19 vaccine ahead of his return to action in Geneva.
Several high-profile players on the men’s and women’s tours have expressed reservations about taking a vaccine to protect against the coronavrius, with world No.1 Noavk Djokovic among the first to suggest he was reluctant to have the injection.
Now Federer has confirmed he has had the vaccine, as he suggested he was keen to protect others as well as himself.
“Yes, I’m vaccinated,” Federer told Switzerland’s Leman Bleu television. “I got the Pfizer.
“I am happy to have been able to do it with all the trips I take.
“Even if I’m staying in Switzerland, I think there are advantages. Above all, I did it for others because I don’t want to give it to anyone else, even if I still remain very careful.
“We’re very careful with the family and with our friends.”
Federer also expressed his excitement at the prospect of his return to action, although he admitted this summer will be different as his family will not be travelling with him to teh French Open and Wimbledon.
“Right now, comeback mode is on, let‘s see what can be achieved, can‘t take the family to Paris, Wimbledon probably not either,” added Federer.
The 20-time Grand Slam champion is preparing to make his return to action in Geneva, in what will be his only clay court event ahead of the French Open.

Here's an interview with Robbie and Lynette Federer about their son who turned 40 today!
"We didn't see Roger as the star in the sky"
Happy Birthday, Roger Federer! His parents Lynette and Robert talk about Roger as a young, wild toddler, their life as grandparents and plans for the future
Q: Lynette and Robert Federer, what goes through your head when you think that your son Roger will be 40 years old?
Lynette: You just think: Wow - 40!
Robert: Yes, just recently I said to Rogi that I'm almost twice your age! And luckily he already has children of his own, so we have grandchildren - that's what makes life so beautiful.
Q: Do you see any traits of Roger in the grandchildren?
Robert: Yes, certain character traits can be recognized that Rogi also had in the past. But I don't want to go into detail now about which of the grandchildren it is.
Q: How was Roger as a boy?
Lynette: I'd better answer that. Robbie was hardly at home back then, he was always traveling around for business. Roger was fun, active, he always had a lot of friends, and something always had to be going on. I noticed early on that he had a great urge to move. Regardless of whether it was on the skateboard, on the bike, at the table tennis table or playing squash with Robbie. It was nice to see how clearly he enjoyed it. But it wasn't a must, he just loved it. As soon as he could walk, he always had to have a ball with him and he was playing football somewhere.
Q: Did you ever think then that he would go far?
Lynette: Others often said how great his talent was or how well he was able to handle the ball at a young age. But at that time we did not foresee so many great successes that he would then achieve, not at all.
Robert: We didn't see him as the star in the sky and lived accordingly. No, we just waited a long time to see how far he could develop his tennis skills.
Q: And yet you gave him the chance to fulfill his dream of being a professional athlete. When did the moment come that you knew he was going to be a great player?
Robert: When he became number 1 in the juniors around the age of 17.
Lynette: And when he won the junior tournament at Wimbledon that same year. Only then did we have the feeling that he could actually achieve great things on the ATP tour.
Robert: So we said to ourselves: now it will begin for him.
Q: Today he has 20 Grand Slam titles and is one of the great superstars in the world. Despite being down-to-earth, it inevitably changes a person. Did you notice any changes in him?
Robert: You can't say anything in particular. Any change certainly did not come suddenly and in one fell swoop.
Q: What successful traits did he inherit from you?
Robert: Well, he looks like me. He clearly got that from me and nobody can deny it.
Lynette: He certainly got the discipline and the urge to move from me. Also the ball talent, I would say.
Q: As a father of four, does Roger give his children the same or similar values as you both gave him?
Lynette: Yes, for example, he likes to be outdoors with his children, to go to the mountains - we have often done such things with our children too. We went hiking a lot or were out on bicycles.
Robert: His willingness to help is also one of the values that we have hopefully been able to pass on to him. He doesn't look at himself first. You can see that also in times of this pandemic, he helped a lot and it is important for him to make generous donations.
Lynette: And yet Mirka and Roger are two different people than Robbie and I were back then. They do what they think best, and that's right. Every couple has to find their own way. When Roger was born, there weren't even any emails.
Robert: Yes, our kids didn't grow up on the computer or Internet.
Q: Has Roger become calmer as a person since fatherhood?
Lynette: I would say he stays true to himself. As he is, he is still very funny and likes to play wild games with his children. But as a father, of course, he cannot always be just dear Papa. In between, he also has to be strict and tough - and he definitely does. I think he has a very good mix in this regard.
Q: Does he talk to you about decisions like retiring?
Lynette: These are personal things that stay within the family.
Q: For his birthday, what would you wish Roger for his future journey?
Robert: That he stays the way he is.
Lynette: That he and his family stay healthy and that Roger continues to radiate so much joy and follows his heart.
