Roger Federer has only stepped on a tennis court once since his last match, the “Match in Africa” between him and Rafael Nadal on February 7 in Cape Town.
The 38-year-old Balois, who is recovering from two operations on his right knee, reveals it in an interview to be broadcast Saturday night on SRF.
“I’ve only played once since that game in South Africa. I also hope that I will always know how to play tennis when I come back “, laughs the man with 20 Grand Slam titles, before specifying more seriously:” Well, I hit the wall several times. But I am only found once on a court. “
When I get old I will definitely keep playing for as long as my body allows, just for fun.

This situation does not worry Roger Federer in the least, however. “Of course, it’s extreme. I could play while standing without moving. But I still have so much time in front of me, ”recalls the Bâlois in an extract broadcast by SRF on Saturday morning on social networks.
This long forced break, which stretches over almost a year until January 2021, has not changed his love for his sport in any way: “When I’m old, I will certainly continue to play too. as long as my body will allow me, just for fun. I will play tennis all my life ”.
