Omg maestro is back soon

I would rather watch highlights of his best matches than watch him at his current age playing exhibitions. Remember the man when he was playing well and relive memories of him at his best.
 
I’d pay some proper monies to see him in an exho. Never got to see him live and am still kicking myself for missing an absolute gimme to see him vs Norrie at Wim in 2021
Also never got to see him in person. I don't know what exho tickets normally go for, but I'd pay a reasonable amount for decent seats. I don't see him coming to my city though.

And for the record, I would be shocked if he took a wildcard somewhere. I give that a .1% chance of happening. And that's being optimistic.
 
Federer doesn't want to put in the hard work to learn Pickleball and shine there like other old tennis players, so he is trying to make money off tennis exhos. It will also help Wilson sell more RF models.
 
Just in time for the RF01 x nCode PJ release? lol

Probably we are all Federer fans although I believe runners swear by them also. I would have never heard of the brand if not for Federer and I bought a pair of very light sneakers for casual wear.
Never heard of them. Now, it is almost the most popular shoe in my area.
 
Just think, if he was not a choker, Fed would have 30 slams and Djoker wouldnt have even 15.

That is how talented and good Fed is. Djoker works hard and is gritty though. Good blue collar type player.
Interesting perspective. I think reality is the opposite though; Federer worked hard as heaven to limp to 20 with that God-forsaken backhand. In fact Roger himself has said he found it irritating to be called "effortless" because of how hard he worked. Despite this, he struggled with the biggest moments on the biggest stages against his biggest rivals, likely the result of not having any during his cream days. Not his fault of course, but just shows you can't achieve everything through hard work.

On the other hand you have Novak who was able to conquer two of the greatest in history, not to mention the rest of the world, fairly easily with his perfect backcourt game once he overcame illness and mentally got it together.

This is true, imagine if he would allow himself an ugly shot like 2 handed backhand? He would likely be even more dominant. What about a bigger racket head? Played in the Djoker weak era?

Man, it really is crazy how Fed being born just 6 years earlier really hurt his career. If he was born in 1987 he likely wins 35 slams and we dont even know Djokers name.

Imagine what Novak could do if he actually had a weak era!!!
 
the king of Wimbledon coming back is fantastic news.
PB and Padel will be back on decline as elegant movement and beauty take back the tour.
 
YES! How great this should be for the sport. As long as no robotic body parts are used (nice try Murray), Federer could make this a great story. Witnessing the decline of the sport, the banished, true GOAT, Federer attempts to take back the throne. I do see this being an embarrassing attempt to win 5 majors, but it’s well worth it. The chance for glory is there. I hope this isn’t him just wanting to play tennis again cuz it’s gonna be sad to watch all over again. Still would rather him coming back and being bad than not watching him play at all.

He said that he found happiness in his post-career, traveling a lot with his family to places he would have always liked to visit.
I am pleased to hear him say these words since the transition between a competitive career and a post-competitive career is something that many athletes initially suffer a lot, totally dependent on the adrenaline generated by competitive tension, when this suddenly disappears many feel disoriented.
He said in one of his retirement interviews that he is not competitive away from the tennis court and does not need alternative outlets in the absence of tennis.

Oh noes. Why didn't you go?
