Roger Federer revealed his post-retirement routine to fans after bidding farewell to professional tennis at the 2022 Laver Cup.

In his last match, the Swiss partnered with his friend and arch-rival Rafael Nadal for a doubles match against the American pair of Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe, eventually losing 6-4, 6-7, 9-11.

In a recent conversation with GQ Sports, the 42-year-old shared that family life has always brought him contentment.

"Tennis was my identity, but it was not what I was doing all day every day," Federer said. "I mean, for the most part, I’m being more of a dad and a husband and a son. Being a tennis player was my hobby, and then that became my job. But I always tried to not identify myself just purely as a tennis player."

Federer further stated that he always understood the necessity to grow beyond his role as a sportsman.

"When tennis was taken away or put aside, well, I still had all the other things," the Swiss said. "And I think that mindset has anyway been a strength of mine throughout my career. I knew that if tennis ends tomorrow, which it can with an accident or whatever, it happens, you have to be able to live with yourself without the game.
