Former Nike Director Mike Nakajima casts doubts over Roger Federer‘s much-awaited return to Wimbledon as a commentator. From the extract of the book ‘The Roger Federer Effect’, Nakajima opines about the Swiss Maestro’s ideas for expanding his areas of business. Until now, Roger Federer or his team has not responded to this news of him being a commentator.
As quoted by Nakajima, “I can’t imagine he will be a commentator; nothing against that. But I’m sure he is thinking about other things. He’s such a savvy guy; if you’re a company, who wouldn’t want somebody like Roger working with you? I think he’ll branch out into other things. And his name will live on forever as one of the best athletes of all time.“
“The Roger Federer effect” is a book published in October 2022. It depicts the life and story of Roger Federer from the perspectives of his rivals, coaches, sponsors, and friends. The book that got published in the same year as his retirement year was an instant hit in terms of popularity. The authors of this book are Simon Cambers and Simon Graf. (source: Express UK)

Tennis fans are expecting Roger Federer to be at Wimbledon as commentator
The Swiss Maestro Roger Federer retired from professional tennis last year. His farewell match was in Laver Cup playing doubles with his biggest rival Rafael Nadal. The 20 Time Grand Slam Champion has always been a fan favorite. This is not just because of his on-court records but also due to the gracefulness he has shown throughout his career off the court as well. The etiquette of Federer is apt for being in the commentary box of Wimbledon and the tennis world is waiting for the official confirmation.
Wimbledon has always been home to the best commentators. There were the likes of legends like John McEnroe, Pat Cash, and Jimmy Connors seen in the commentary box. Tennis fans are already excited to see Federer back in Wimbledon but the official confirmation has not been done yet.
Many greats have become great commentators in the past. Federer has his natural class and has been a good speaker too. If it happens, the way he is going to explain the details during the match is going to be a surreal experience. Especially if Rafa or Djokovic plays and he does the commentary, being a person who graced the courts for almost 2 decades with them and knows all their antics during the match.
In case you missed it!!
