Roger Federer would have extended his horizon: the Swiss Maestro has not yet reached the expiration date, and according to the ATP tournament in Halle, he would have already confirmed his presence for the 2022 edition, when there will also be audiences on the stands .
But is it a sharable choice? Let’s analyze the answers. Why it’s a shareable choice Roger Federer is the center of the modern tennis world. Adored by fans, tournament organizers and brands around the world, he is also an inexhaustible source for the media and insiders.
Thanks to Roger Federer, the ATP brand has grown and his presence is always a magnet when playing a tournament. More Roger Federer means more attention to tennis, in every way. Moreover, his presence on the court would mean another year and a half of thrills for the Slam Race with his perennial rivals Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic and the possibility of winning another Slam title.
Why this is not a shareable choice Here, we leave aside the whole question of marketing; Roger is such a bright star that he obscures any young ATP who are trying to carve out a place in the ATP Tour.
But there is also more: Federer risks, with age, even making a bad impression if he is not at the top of his psycho-physical form, in particular against Novak Djokovic, his nightmare. And that would be the worst way to end his career, also because it would give the voracious mouth of Srdjan Djokovic, eager to shoot poison at Roger, other unnecessary pretexts to draw attention to himself, damaging at the same time the image of his son Novak.
Here is the press release from the organizers of the Halle tournament: “Everyone’s health being our priority, we unfortunately have only one option: to organize the tournament without spectators. The pandemic will prevent the public from hosting the Noventi Open until next year. “
The tickets already sold for the Halle tournament remain valid for the 2022 edition of the tournament (as in the logic of things). However, the German newspaper Tennisnet gave other news which bodes well for those who have already bought tickets and for Roger Federer fans in general.
The Swiss champion, with the Japanese Kei Nishikori, has already given the availability to participate in the next edition of the tournament, a news which bodes well and which would therefore mean that this is not the last season of the ATP Tour for Roger Federer who would also plan his 2022 season.
