Roger Federer hopes Rafael Nadal can retire ‘on his own terms’ and opens up on future coaching role
Roger Federer hopes his former tennis rival Rafael Nadal can “retire on his own terms” after injuries which have prevented the Spaniard from competing in back-to-back Grand Slams. Nadal, 37, was forced to sit out of the French Open for the first time since 2004 — a tournament he has dominated for 18 years — as well as Wimbledon, a Grand Slam he’s won twice. Ad His long absence is due to a hip injury he suffered during the Australian Open and he has since struggled to make a return to competitive tennis because of ongoing issues and a lack of fitness.
