Roger Federer points out that he is not happy that he ended his career with a defeat, even though the Laver Cup is primarily an exhibition tournament.
-” Of course I’m disappointed. I was on the team and I almost lost my voice and my palms hurt from cheering for the team. Because of this, I am disappointed and I wish the result had been different. I told Andy in the locker room that I don’t like losing, it’s not fun. Once you feel success, you don’t like losing. I’ll be traveling home tomorrow and hopefully, I’ll find a way to have a fun night. However, this weekend is something special for me. I enjoyed it, but unfortunately, my team didn’t win,” says Federer and continues:
Federer does not see himself as the leader of the ATP in the future, but he says that he will always be ready to help.
-“ I’m not thinking about that role, but you never know. Now I’m not really willing to enter politics. I used to do something similar. Sometimes it was good, sometimes not the best. That’s why I have to move away from that option right now. However, if I can be of help, not as an official of course, I will always be there. But to officially take over the position. At the moment I don’t see myself in that,” added Roger.
The media in London were interested in whether he could see himself as the head coach of Team Europe.
-” I have no such plans. Bjorn does a great job, as does Tomas Enkvist, as his assistant. It was very fun. Maybe one day I’ll be there, but for now I don’t plan on it. Right now, I’m more looking forward to coming to Vancouver, which will host the Laver Cup next year. I think that city will be a great host and I believe that Europe will have a great team again. I went through different Laver Cups. I was winning, and now I am defeated for the first time. There was also the one last year, when I was hurt. I enjoyed this competition in many different ways,” concluded Roger Federer.
