I would probably play a few exhibitions: Roger Federer

Rafael Nadal’s sister, Maribel Nadal reacted to the post by commenting on the pictures posted by Federer.  She showed her feelings for the legend with a couple of clapping hands emojis. Federer’s trip to Halle Open 2023 was a very memorable reminder of his legacy and personality, which he has left behind. He may have retired but he still remains an inspiration and a role model for millions of people around the world.

Federer opined that how his body was dealing with retirement and the likes of him taking part in the exhibition matches in the future. The former World No. 1 retired from international Tennis at the Laver Cup in September 2022 after a long struggle with his knee injury.

At the event, Federer asserted that his current state of the knee prevented him from taking part in the exhibition matches.  He also stated that he was concentrating on his recovery and returning to fitness through a specific fitness routine. “If the body was in top shape, I would probably play a few exhibitions. I still go to the gym four or five times a week and try to get my body back into shape with my knee. That’s why I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything,” he said.
