42YO Roger Federer Makes Young Fans’ Day as He Turns Back the Clock to Step on the Tennis Court Again

Roger Federer hung up the racket last year when it came to playing the sport in a professional capacity. While we aren’t likely to see him play a match on the ATP Tour, we might see him play tennis in some capacity. Recently, the Swiss Maestro showed his fans and children stepping into the sport that he has not abandoned tennis completely.

Federer displayed his abilities in Shanghai. He returned to the tournament a few days ago and hit a few strokes, which put his fans in nostalgic mode. The event reminded fans of his glory days as they reminisced about his presence in the sport.

Although retired, the Swiss Maestro has shown us that he has not abandoned the sport completely. While he is engaged in other various ventures, he is still taking part in tennis in some capacity. He returned to the Shanghai Masters for a special event with Uniqlo. Federer and his major sponsor created an event that saw many of his younger fans.

He played tennis with some of his younger fans to take the event to the next level. Additionally, he gave an instant hit of nostalgia to those who miss him on the court.

The Tennis Letter shared two videos of him playing tennis with the caption, “Roger Federer played tennis with some young fans in Shanghai for a Uniqlo event. Definitely made their day. ❤️“.

Watching him hit a few strokes, his fans shed some tears as they were reminded of the glorious days of the Swiss Maestro after a video of his rallies went viral. While Federer himself was in a jolly mode in Shanghai to reminisce about his old days, glimpses of his game struck the fans’ emotional chord.

Federer fans are reminded of the past

Before The Tennis Letter shared the video of Federer’s rallies, a fan saw a video of the 20-time grand slam champion. They shared on his  Twitter (now X) profile and said they miss Federer even more now. Watching the video made fans emotional. One user made up a story about what Federer might say if they were playing opposite to him.

One major fan said that a slow-motion video of his rally would be better than any poetry. Watching his movements, one fan fantasized about his possible return to play exhibition matches. Since his knees were suffering before retirement, one fan said they could see improvement in the movement since he got a good amount of rest.

More fans left comments that showed their love for the eight-time Wimbledon champion. If Federer were to play in exhibitions, his fans have shown how quickly the tickets for the event would go out of stock.
