Roger Federer on tennis post-retirement - "I don’t miss it. I really don’t."

96th Annual Academy Awards

Roger Federer recently opened up about his life post-retirement from tennis. In an interview with GQ Sports, the 20-time Grand Slam champion was asked whether he missed tennis, and he said that he did not.

"Not really, actually," he said.

The former World No. 1 elaborated that he was at peace with his decision, adding that his body would not have allowed him to continue.

"Yeah, I get that question a lot, and I don’t miss it. I really don’t. I feel really at peace. I think it’s also because I know that my knee and my body and my mind don’t allow me to be out there. Do I feel like, Oh, I could hit that shot? Yeah, okay: Maybe I could right now. But I feel like I squeezed the lemon out. I tried everything I had. And I’m so at peace," he said.

Federer said he always thought about the time he would play tennis without an intention to improve, rather just for enjoyment.

"I love playing tennis and I always thought, How is that moment going to be when I retire and I go back on a tennis court and actually don’t have to improve? Who cares if I miss a forehand? Who cares if it’s getting better or not?" he said.
