'Roger Federer will definitely play in 2020. And if he keeps winning...'
The question that everyone is asking themselves and who nobody can answer is when Roger Federer will retire from the professional game. Not even the Swiss knows that, but in March after his win over Stefanos Tsitsipas in the Dubai finals, he revealed he has already reached an agreement with the Swiss to play the Arab tournament in 2020. This is just another reason why according to the Borna Coric' coach Riccardo Piatti, the Basel native will definitely compete for one more season. "Looking at the recent results he will definitely play next year and then if next year he will achieve the same results, we will see more from him", Piatti told Sky Sport.
The May month will give Federer another big challenge, competing on clay for the first times since 2016. "Roger likes playing tennis. He was born on clay because last year he has played with Jannik Sinner. I asked Roger how this young Italian guy plays, he replied: 'Yeah, he plays well, but he hits all the shots in the same way. He needs to play more on clay. Because on clay you learn to slide and find different trajectories. He likes the game and wants to prepare for Wimbledon and the period between Miami and Wimbledon is too long. The only risk is that if he goes too far in Paris he may get tired or injured but his team will have thought about it."
Federer last played an official match in the Miami Open defeating John Isner in the final.
