Roger Federer answers his fans’ questions on Twitter.

Since his retirement in September last year, Roger Federer (41) has had a lot of time, including for social media. On Tuesday night, he will hold a question and answer session on his Twitter profile and take time for his fans’ concerns.

Many of his followers want to know if the Basel native misses life as a top athlete and hard training: “In a crazy way I miss everything about it. For years I didn’t even know what day of the week it was (except that Monday is the start of a tournament was and Sunday the end) “, answers Federer. He will also miss the fans, the big stadiums and the “all the excitement” “forever”.

“As if a weight has been lifted from my shoulders”

But the end of your career also brings benefits. “I enjoyed skiing with my family for the first time this winter,” writes the maestro. All the pressure had also been lifted from him: “It was as if a weight had been lifted from my shoulders.”

A funny story happened to Federer during the Formula 1 event in Miami. There he was mistaken for his biggest competitor. “A man came up to me and asked, ‘Mr. Nadal, can I take a picture with you?’ When I told him I wasn’t Nadal, he apologized and left without taking a picture,” Federer captioned a salmon smiley.

The sometimes legendary matches between Federer and the Spaniard are also the main subject of other questions. “Do you miss playing against Nadal?” one asks. “Yes and no,” Federer replies with a winking smiley. He’s probably talking the record against his rival. Federer won 16 times, the Spaniard 24 times.

Advice to young athletes

When asked by a fan what advice the former tennis star would give a young athlete, he replied: “You have to surround yourself with the right people, listen carefully and learn quickly.” Even after painful defeats, you have to see the good in it: “You just have to persevere and don’t dwell on it too long. You have to learn and see the positives because there is always something.”
