Roger Federer at Wimbledon 2023, could not only be a utopia. The Swiss played his last career match at the Laver Cup alongside Rafael Nadal. The Swiss champion decided to greet all his fans in the Rod Laver event and was unable to hold back his tears at the end of the double that closed the Day 1 program of the well-known team event.
Roger explained: “The decision came at the beginning of the summer. I felt that my progress was not satisfactory, that my knee was not doing well. Then I did an ultrasound and saw that there was no more progress. I would have liked to have been able to return to Wimbledon next year, I really believed it, but then in the following weeks I still took some exams that showed no progress and it was there that I decided to say enough.
If I look at the last few years away from competitions, I have still done a lot of things with my family and my sponsors, I don’t want to completely distance myself from the sport that has given me everything. I have always told my wife Mirka that I would be more available to them at the end of my career and that is what I will do.“
Will Roger Federer Return to Wimbledon in 2023? Federer, during the interview, revealed his intention to still be part of the tennis world, albeit in a different guise. The Swiss may already have found a way to keep in touch with the sport he loves, at least according to rumors launched by Sue Barker.
The former BBC commentator, during the promotion of her autobiography Calling The Shots and according to Stuart Higgins’ account on Kingston Nub News, would reveal Federer’s new role at Wimbledon: “Sue has hinted that tennis legend Roger Federer, who retired from the Laver Cup, could join the BBC commentator team for the next edition of Wimbledon.“
Federer holds the record for Wimbledon titles, has raised the trophy eight times to the sky on the lawns of the All England Club, and has always said words of great esteem for the tournament.
