In mid-September 2022, Roger Federer announced his decision to retire from professional tennis activity. After an extensive and successful career, the Swiss hung up his racket as a result of the injuries that had affected him in recent times.
In the last few hours, in his dialogue with The New York Times, Federer released an unexpected revelation about his presence in the previous edition of Wimbledon, when he was watching a match by Andy Murray.
“It has been something that I did not know how I would take it. For a long time I tried to go back and give it one more chance and leave the game in a healthy way, but it was not feasible. three years, so it wasn’t like I came from playing 100 games and then boom, it’s over.” “In the end I was relieved, I think, and happy to retire,” after playing the Laver Cup. “For me it was like ‘okay, I’m fine now, I don’t need to chase that tingle.” “I know Kate Middleton pretty well. She is an avid tennis fan and she plays alone. Sometimes we have to be careful not to talk too much. You can talk, then it’s super quiet, and then you have to clap your hands.”

His father, with whom he was in the stands of the stadium, asked him: “Wouldn’t you like to be playing instead of sitting and watching?” To which Federer candidly replied: “No. I feel happy watching and enjoying the game”.
