Roger Federer shares what his next plans are
Roger Federer spoke with Vogue about his short-term plans. The Swiss played exhibition matches last week in South America following the ATP Finals in London and on Monday, he had a huge press day in New York City to promote his new partnership with On shoes. Federer said: “Right now, I’m just looking forward to a vacation! Regroup, reset, train hard in the off-season—and get ready for whatever’s coming next.”
Federer also spoke about his co-operation with On: “When you’re an ambassador for a brand, you hear a lot about numbers, about how many days you’re expected to give, about bonuses. There’s an expression in sports—‘You’re only as good as your next match’—and this is because brands want to protect themselves. Usually in tennis, you have a deal for a year, three years, and eventually, they switch you out for a younger guy or they move out of the sport. I’ve been very fortunate to be together with my partners for a long, long time. And when my Nike deal ended, it allowed me the opportunity to explore what I could do for clothes and for shoes. It’s the first time I had to speak with my wife about a deal or a partnership that exceeds my playing days."
Federer has remained tight-lipped about continuing to wear Nike shoes on-court, come the 2020 season.
