Roger Federer: I love 250s, 500s, 1000s, Slams, Laver Cup
Roger Federer is focused on tennis and he is not thinking about retirement from tennis yet.
In his press conference at the French Open, the Swiss player said: "I feel like I can do those other things later on, too, you know. I don't have to do them at 37. I could do them, you know, at a different time, as well. It's not only about the Grand Slams, you know. Of course I like them, but I also skipped this tournament, let's not forget, the last few years. So as important as it is, I love the ATP Tour. You know, I love the other 1000s, 500s, 250s, you name it, Hopman Cup, Laver Cup, World Tour Finals. There are so many other cool events out there that I want to be part of, or exhibition matches or foundation matches. So there is much more to it than just the slams. I know sometimes, especially now, as we are at a Grand Slam, people are only talking about Grand Slams, but the majority of my tournament wins come elsewhere. So I love to play. The traveling, to me, doesn't bother me too much, you know. I feel like I have a lot of friends around the world, so it's nice to see them, as well. I think that's also helpful, going to places and getting to see my old friends I only see maybe once a year. And, yeah, just very happy how things are going on the tour, and my family loves it, too. They are okay with it. That helps a little bit, too."
