The Swiss answered a series of questions via his social networks and spoke about his willingness to mount a racket and play exhibitions. Moreover, he said that he will participate in this year’s Laver Cup and revealed several anecdotes.
In September last year, Roger Federer shocked the world by announcing his retirement from tennis. The Swiss legend took the sport to another level and fans felt the loss very hard.
From then on, the winner of 20 Grand Slam tournaments devoted himself to traveling the planet and attending various red carpets and sporting events. However, the racket is still in its new life, and he himself made it known during a series of questions with his fans.
The Basel-born man was given 90 minutes to answer questions from fans on Twitter. For example, he was asked about his participation in this year’s Laver Cup, to which he responded positively. “Yeah, see you in Vancouver”, express. While the organization of the Rugby World Cup asked him if he was going to follow the matches of the event. “Yeah! and I hope to be in a stadium for one of them” replied.
Another fan also asked him if he considered picking up a racket and returning to South America, like he did in 2019 when he first visited Chile. “I would love to play exhibitions in the future and if so, coming back to South America would be amazing” he pointed out without hesitation. An idea that excites the thousands of fans that the Swiss has in this part of the world.
Another nod to South America was when he recalled his time in Argentina. Thank you for all of your support over the years! Good memories of my trip to Argentina. I hope to be able to come back one day,” he said.
Mr Nadal
His variety of subjects continued. Another user suggested the idea of doing a podcast, and the response was totally surprising. “What is a podcast and why does everyone have one?” he said, clarifying that at least for this year, he was not in his plans to comment for any channel.
He also revealed a hilarious anecdote with a fan in Formula 1. “It happened the other day in Formula 1. A guy asked: “Can I take a picture with you, Mr. Nadal? I told him that I was not Mr. Nadal. He apologized and left without taking a picture.” he remembered.
Regarding Rafa, he regretted his Roland Garros package. “Yes, I will miss seeing him play. French Open+ @RaphaelNadal =one of the most incredible records in the history of all sports” held.
