Offer him anything he wants in exchange for Wimbledon commentary I don t care if he requests your first-born children - Tennis fans react to Roger Federer s plan of commentating tennis matches

By Kristina Villanueva Modified 23 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Roger Federer (right) speaks to the crowd as Novak Djokovic (left) looks on during the Centre Court centenary celebration at Wimbledon last July. Roger Federer recently gave an insight into his retirement plans, while speaking with Swiss media ahead of the Laver Cup. As you'd expect, fans on Twitter reacted strongly to his comments, with many urging him to take up commentary. Federer gave indications about his short-term plans (an appearance at the Swiss Indoors Basel in October is still up in the air) as well as long-term ones (continuing his training and staying in shape, focusing on his foundation and business, and his ambassador roles). But none attracted more interest than Federer's possible tennis commentary stint, particularly at Wimbledon, his most successful Slam. Laver Cup@LaverCup"I'm ready to be on your side."

What stood out and makes me happy is that many reported a lot about me as a person I thought that was beautiful - Roger Federer on the reactions to his retirement

Roger Federer prepares ahead of the Laver Cup. Roger Federer, at 41 years old, announced his retirement from tennis last week. As expected, the news left a lot of broken hearts, both from his fans and fellow players who lauded not just his elegant brand of tennis on the court but also his character off it. Federer said that while he has only seen very little of the reactions to his farewell, what struck him the most were the reports about him as a person - and not just his forehand, backhand, victories and records. "I have seen very little until now... There are always incredibly creative angles. What stood out and makes me happy is that many reported a lot about me as a person and how they experienced me over the years. That, for me, it was all about personality, not just forehand, backhand, triumph, victory, records. I thought that was beautiful and I wasn't expecting this style," said Federer on Tages-Anzeiger.
