La Jornada – Federer, ready to leave tennis

–

Roger Federer, champion of 20 Grand Slam titles, assured that he is ready to leave the sport. “I love to win but, if you are no longer competitive, then it is better to stop. I don’t think I need tennis, I’m happy with the little things, like when my son does something well or when my daughter gets a good grade at school,” the 40-year-old Swiss told Dutch daily Algemeen Dagblad. “Tennis is part of my life, but not my whole identity. I want to be and remain successful, put all my energy into business. I know that a professional career cannot last forever and that is fine, I accept it”, noted the tennis player who lost all the points in the world ranking the day before and continues with his physical recovery process.
