“Schedule will be much more manageable” Roger Federer to make big changes upon return to the Tour
Roger Federer
Roger Federer has been away from the ATP Tour for about a year now. He will miss the Wimbledon 2022, marking his absence from the Championships for the first time in his career. Federer had lost in the quarterfinal of the Wimbledon 2021 and subsequently had to undergo knee surgery. Roger has been preparing for his return on the tour but the exact date is still unknown.
Though Roger has already listed himself for the Laver Cup, which will be held in September. So, the nearest date for his return is most likely to be in September. He would like to begin his comeback on the tour surrounded by friends and close companions at the Laver Cup. He will also play in the Basel Open 2022, a Swiss indoor ATP 500 event that Federer has won ten times. But, Federer has revealed his plans for the tour after he comes back.
Roger Federer will keep his schedule light for the family.
In an interview with Blick, Federer revealed that he is looking forward to the comeback, but there are some changes. He said: “I won’t be playing 20 tournaments per season anymore, so the schedule will be a lot more manageable. I know my kids would be very happy to go back to some places in the world, like London or Miami.”
Talking about his children hitting puberty, Federer said: “Let’s put it this way: It’s certainly an interesting time that is coming up now, You have so many things on your mind at this age. It’s not that easy.”
For his plans other than tennis Federer said that he is looking forward to skiing, and for golf, he said: “Maybe I’ll go golfing again. But I will not do this alone, but together with Mirka.”
It’s clear that Federer is looking to extend his stay on the professional circuit, but given his age and responsibilities towards his family, he would play in some chosen tournaments only.
