I feel really energized, refreshed to be honest. I've done amazing amounts of travels with my family and my wife. It's something we've always wanted to do. It's always been a dream of ours to go to places either we've been to and experienced them without practice coming or a match coming, or to new places, of course, and just have a really good time, you know, on the road and it's been great. I always make the joke that I should have retired earlier, so I would have had more time because I'm so happy in retirement." (0:05)"But of course, it did take me a little bit of time to also get used to it, manage my schedule well and maybe better. I feel like I'm in good control right now, which is a great thing. And I just, you know, want to spend a lot of time with my children. My boys are 11, my girls are turning 16 now, soon, so it's been a good time also family bonding for all of us and it's been a lot of fun every time."Federer and Mirka share four children: twin girls, Myla Rose and Charlene Federer, and twin boys, Lenny and Leo.Roger Federer teased a tennis comeback in a recent announcementRoger Federer at 2024 Shanghai Rolex Masters - Day 12 - (Source: Getty)It's been almost three years since Federer retired from tennis, but he seemed to be interested in taking to the court again soon. Even in his retirement years, he hasn't been away from sporting endeavours, often playing golf and skiing during leisure time. In an interview with TNT Sports, Federer hinted at his return, though not professionally, but in exhibition matches."Honestly I'd love to play some more tennis again. Enough with the golf already for a moment now, I've played so much. But no seriously, I'd love to start playing like two-three times a week again and hopefully, get myself back on an exhibition court. Maybe fill up a few nice stadiums around the world."He also revealed that some tennis practice after a long break wouldn't be a decent option for him now. He has played with his children but had no specific individual training.
