‘Relieved’ Roger Federer Drops Hot Take on Retirement Life With a Nostalgic Comment on That Night in London

The year 2022 was an emotional one for Roger Federer. After spending years on the tennis court, the Swiss maestro called an end to his glorious career at the Laver Cup. While injuries had marred his career towards the end, Federer ensured to give his fans one final glimpse of him in action. Now, he has another exciting project coming up that is related to the final days of his career. However, he made an interesting revelation about that project.

The Swiss maestro is working on a documentary that will portray the final days of his tennis career. It will be released on Amazon with filmmakers Joe Sabia and Asif Kapadia working on it. Here’s what Federer had to say about this project.

Roger Federer doesn’t want to revisit his retirement day

Recently, the 20-time Grand Slam champion appeared in an interview with GQ. During the conversation, he opened up about the current project with Amazon about the final days of his playing career. Federer said, “I’m really relieved, if that makes any sense. I mean, the last few years have been tough with my knee.”

Further, he went on to add, “You could feel the end coming closer. So when it’s all said and done and you’re over the line and you’re retired officially, you take a deep breath and you’re like, ‘Wow, okay, that was good.'” But at the same time, Federer shared that whenever someone gives him a reminder of the night in the form of a video, his only feelings are, “Oh, my God, do I really have to see that again?”

Despite his retirement, his fans have always been hoping for the Swiss maestro’s return to the sport. Earlier this year, Federer opened up about his potential return to the sport.
