In a tunnel, riding the beautiful wave, running around the world, running on the tennis court, battling, always trying to be alert, being ready for the next press conference, the next meet and greet, posing with a fan,” he describes his 24-year career. Thus, it almost seems like it wasn’t me when you suddenly distance yourself.
After winning 20 Grand Slams and illuminating tennis with his grace both on and off the court, Federer announced his retirement in 2022 at the age of 41. He continues to be a gentleman, showing up on Zoom at the scheduled time for this interview and grinning. But now that he’s retired, he has time to consider what made his job possible. Images from a stylish new photo-biography, which details his transformation from a blonde toddler with a racket to a young professional with scruffy hair and the greatest player in the world, complement his memories. It also highlights his career-defining rivalry with Rafael Nadal. Now that Federer is at a remove, Federer may now be explained.
“I wasn’t raised with someone telling me I will be the world’s greatest player. My God, I was still so far from genuinely believing it when I was fourteen years old,” he exclaims. Although he was aware of his “some talent,” his main goal was to go on the tour and play on the same court as the celebrities.
