Federer: No Coaching Future


Roger Federer's post-playing future won't feature a return to the pro circuit.

The Grand Slam king personally recruited Hall of Famers Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe to serve as Laver Cup captains, but Federer has no plans to emulate McEnroe as a future coach or commentator.

The father of two sets of twins says when he he pulls the plug on his playing career he seriously doubts he'll pack up a suitcase and return to the road.

"That's hard to answer now that I'm going to be commentator or a coach," Federer told the media after winning his Indian Wells opener to stretch his winning streak to six matches. "I doubt that I will be that, especially, you know, right after I retire. I do have four children, and I like being in Switzerland, and I like probably taking it easy and deciding where I want to go from there.



"I have never commentated or coached in my life before," Federer said.  "So... and being back on the road for 20-plus weeks is not gonna happen. I have done that enough for the last 20 years. So if I do it, it's in a different capacity, I believe."
