During a press conference at the 2022 Laver Cup, Roger Federer discussed his life after retirement, admitting that while he had a great career, it was now time for him to do different things and spend more time with his family.

"No, everything around, you know, the people, the fans, interactions, and sometimes the travels. It's been a great fun time on the tour, but I feel super ready to do different things in my life and take time away and speak to my family and see where we want to go from here," he said.

The 20-time Major winner went on to say that he has made many friends on the tour, including Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Andy Murray. He also opined that while things would be different for him going forward, they would be different in a good way.

"I had a wonderful time on tour. Made so many friends, as well, you know, along the way. Being surrounded by my biggest rivals like Novak and Andy and Rafa, I mean, was truly unique, and I can never thank them enough for being there and staying there and going through it with me," he said.
"Now, moving forward, yeah, it's going to be different but good different. I got a taste of it the last few years, so I'll be fine (smiling)," he added.
