In 2022, Roger Federer decided to end his career. A hard decision to make but logical, because the Swiss was then 40 years old. If he admitted to having hesitated before retiring, today he does not regret. The courts are no longer missing for the Maestro, who now prefers to watch matches from the stands.
Career endings are always very difficult to manage. Sometimes the players still feel like it, but the body can no longer keep up with the pace, which is always more excessive. Roger Federer pushed him to 40. For more than twenty years, the Swiss has forged a solid record, winning 20 titles in the Grand Slam, and being adored by fans around the world. A way of life at two hundred miles an hour, which when it stops can sometimes leave a great void.
“I didn’t know if I still wanted to play or not”
Pour Roger Federer, there was a long reflection before ending his career. The Swiss wasn’t sure he wanted to say stop, as he said in an interview with The New York Times. But today he is sure he made the right choice, and he takes great pleasure in watching matches. “This year is totally different from last year, when I didn’t know if I still wanted to play or not. My dad whispered to me, “Don’t you want to be on the court instead of just sitting there watching? and I said, “No.” I feel good watching and enjoying the game.”

Roger Federer got into fashion
With the end of his career, Roger Federer therefore has much more time devoted to new projects. Lately he joined his sponsor Uniqlo and the designer Jonathan Anderson, to launch her own clothing collection. And obviously, this fascinates the Swiss, who is fully involved in this project. “For me, it was important to have a connection with Jonathan so that I could keep my own style, and know how much influence I would actually have instead of him just asking me if I like this or that. »
