"Incredible to have been at @themasters this year! The energy, the setting, and the level of play were truly something special. Huge congrats to @rorymcilroy on winning the green jacket. Thanks to everyone who made the experience so memorable. Now, if you’ll excuse me… time for an emergency 9 ⛳️🏌️

Roger Federer opens up about making a tennis comeback
In a recent conversation with TNT Sports, Roger Federer opened up about his retirement and hinted toward making his return to tennis. He revealed that he isn't completely done playing tennis and expressed his wish to play some exhibition matches in the future. The Swiss also said that he was tired of playing golf and wanted to entertain his fans with tennis once again.
"Honestly I'd love to play some more tennis again. Enough with the golf already for a moment now, I've played so much. But no seriously, I'd love to start playing like two-three times a week again and hopefully, get myself back on an exhibition court. Maybe fill up a few nice stadiums around the world," Roger Federer said.
He further said that he missed tennis a little too much and that he wanted to play a little bit for himself as well.
"I've no plans yet but I know that the training part, I miss it a little bit to be honest because I haven't played a whole lot since I retired. Just because I think my body needed a little break and maybe my mind also a little bit. I've played with my kids, you know but I'd really love to practice a little bit for myself as well. So I'll do that as I keep on travelling and hopefully you'll get to see me in an exhibition soon," he added.
Shortly after this admission, Andy Roddick expressed his wish to see the legends Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal compete together at an exhibition match.
