Roger Federer's latest cryptic post on social media stating that he would be coming soon has led to a flurry of speculation among fans with some suggesting that he would become the coach of Novak Djokovic.

The Serb recently parted ways with former World No. 2 Goran Ivanisevic after six years working together, during which, they won 12 Grand Slams.

Shortly after, Federer shared a post on X, which indicated that something was "coming soon".

Several fans reacted to the Swiss' post, with one stating that he was "coming out of the woodwork" to coach Novak Djokovic.

"Federer coming out of the woodwork to coach Djokovic?" a fan wrote on X in reaction to the Swiss meastro's post.
"Soon you are going to somewhere that looks like trees? treesare green. grass is also green. wimbledon has grass. so you’re telling us that you’re winning wimbledon SO TRUE KING," a fan said.

Fans, however, said that it is unlikely that Roger Federer would coach Novak Djokovic given the intense rivalry between the two legends.

"Why? He has a happy retirement and Djokovic is rude. Quote from Goran last year "He shouts at us for no reason!" You must be joking which I think u are. He is a billionaire man and at peace," a fan said.
