Famous golfer: "I love to watch Roger Federer play tennis"

Roger Federer's injury and subsequent operation put all Swiss fans and all tennis fans in general on alert. After the semi-finals reached at the Australian Open 2020, the Swiss tennis player suffered an injury and will remain away from the courts for several months.

This stop will slow down the former World number 1 and his return is scheduled for the Halle tournament, but rumors have recently reappeared about a possible retirement. Through his social media, the journalist Gustavo Goitia has denied these rumours and reported statements by the Swiss tennis player, very optimistic about his return. Federer would have declared that he saw no reason not to play in the 2021 season and that, family permitting, he is ready to play even at the age of 40.

The 20-time Grand Slam champion enjoys many admirers also outside the world of tennis. In fact, athletes of all disciplines who have confessed their admiration for the Swiss champion are no longer counted. The last was golfer Justin Rose, who was World Number 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking.

"Actually, I love watching good golf for obvious reasons, but I don’t take inspiration from other golfers as much. Tennis is one area. I love to watch Roger Federer play tennis, and if I could trend toward that—clearly I’m not going to win 20 majors the way Federer has won 20 Grand Slams, but if I could, I’d trend toward the end of my career as someone who plays freer and freer. Thing is, he had to evolve and learn to become that way over his career" - Rose said in a recent interview to Forbes.

Roger is again the holder of the RF logo that has been associated with his clothing for most of his career. Neither Federer or Uniqlo have indicated whether they plan to use the logo now it has been authorized. The delay was to allow the sale of the rest of Nike's Federer apparel.
