Rogr Federer, one of tennis' most beloved and recognized icons, has sparked excitement by revealing his desire to step back onto the court! The 20-time Major winner will not seek professional return almost three years after his retirement at the Laver Cup.
Instead, the legend wants to revive the pure joy of playing and reconnecting with his fans. Roger left professional tennis in September 2022, over a year after playing his last singles match at Wimbledon. The Swiss has been enjoying with his family, traveling and limiting his tennis action.
Roger has barely played tennis since his farewell, allowing his troubled knee to recover. Now, though, he admits the itch to return is growing stronger!
Roger Federer wants to play exhibitions & fill stadiums around the world:
“I’d love to start playing 2 or 3 times a week & hopefully get myself back on the exhibition court. Maybe fill up a few nice stadiums around the world.”

Federer has not yet made concrete plans. However, he will increase his training pace during his travels, and we could see his potential return sooner than expected, even if only for fun. Fans around the world still fondly remember his elegant style and attacking skills.
They would surely welcome an opportunity to see him holding a racquet again during exhibitions, likely with high-profile names. For Roger, it's not about competition anymore, as he did that for 25 years! It's about rekindling the love for the game that shaped his life.

For tennis fans, even a glimpse of his graceful backhand is reason to celebrate. It's all up to you know, Roger, as the tennis fans are ready to embrace your comeback and watch you at packed stadiums!
"I would like to resume training a bit and do it two or three times a week. I would love to play exhibitions again and fill stadiums worldwide. I have not planned anything, but I miss that. I have almost not played since my retirement, as my body and mind needed to breathe.
I played a bit with my children and would like to take it more seriously again. I will increase my training pace during my travels, and maybe you will see me back on a court soon," Roger Federer said.
“I would like to resume training a bit and do it two or three times a week,” Federer shared, adding that he dreams of playing exhibitions and filling stadiums worldwide once again. “I miss that,” he confessed.
