Roger Federer Talks Post-Retirement Plans, Living A Balanced Life

Roger Federer is arguably among the greatest players in the history of tennis and widely considered the Greatest of All Time (GOAT). He has a record 20 men’s singles Grand Slam titles and admitted recently that he has fulfilled all his dreams on the tennis court.

The 37-year-old, however, is still not ready to hang up his racket and revealed that he wants to continue winning tournaments and relive his past successes. He also spoke of fulfilling the dream of having a big family – he has a pair of twin girls and twin boys - with his wife Mirka.

While retirement is not on his mind, he admitted he is looking forward to living a more relaxed life away from the court. But he doesn't see himself sitting idle once he calls time on his illustrious career and has big plans for the Roger Federer Foundation that aims to educate thousands of underprivileged kids in southern Africa.

"I do set myself goals in terms of tennis goals but I have achieved all my dreams within tennis but I want to relive moments and have flashbacks of how it was winning for the first time Wimbledon, or becoming world number one for the first time, Can I do it again,” Federer said, as quoted on Tennis World USA.

“Living in Switzerland and just having more relaxed routines than what it is now, so I am really looking forward to that and then clearly have big dreams as well for my Foundation. We would really like to help a lot of kids with quality education in southern Africa, that's clearly going to be a link with big dreams I have in the next 10, 20, 30 years because I know that's going to be a big goal for me,” he added.

The Swiss maestro also spoke about the importance of living a balanced life by dividing his business life from his personal life. He admits that he does think of tennis when he is off the court but revealed that he has been able to master the art of keeping both separate over the years.

"The moment I left the tennis courts, I try to forget what I just did on the tennis court at least for a moment. Okay, in the back of your mind you have to stay the business person, the tennis player because that's what we are maybe next to your family. That was always key and honestly, I have mastered cutting the two things from each other. The business world to personal life,” Federer said.
