In an interview, Ion Tiriac, a businessman and former coach of Boris Becker, spoke about Roger Federer’s return to action later this year. Tiriac believes that it is not wise for Federer to return to the highest level at this age as he believes the new generation can beat him.
Tiriac believes that such a lengthy spell of absence from the tour will pose problems for the 20-time Grand Slam champion. He also lambasted Federer’s decision to retire from his fourth-round clash against Matteo Berrettini at the French Open last year in order to prepare better for Wimbledon.
Roger Federer drops out of top-50 of the ATP rankings
After being on the sidelines for nearly a year, Roger Federer finds himself out of the top-50 in the ATP rankings for the first time since 2000. The Swiss maestro is currently ranked World No. 68 and will fall even further as he is set to lose points he gained from playing Halle and Wimbledon last year.
However, the wait for his ardent fans to finally see the maestro in action is nearly over as Roger Federer is set to return to action in the Laver Cup. He has also confirmed his participation at the Swiss Indoors this year using a protected ranking.
