Swiss maestro Roger Federer has revealed that Wimbledon, where he won his first Grand Slam title, could be the ideal place for a farewell tournament when he decides to call time on his illustrious career.<\/p>\n
Federer\u2019s comments arrive at a time when the tennis world is celebrating the achievements of his long-time rival Andy Murray, who said next week\u2019s Australian Open could his last as he struggles to recover from a hip injury.<\/p>\n
Two-time Australian Open defending champion Federer said he does not have a \u201cfairytale ending\u201d to his own career in mind but he would like to leave the court in good health. \u201cI don\u2019t have the fairytale ending in my head saying it has to be another title somewhere and then I have to announce it big, I don\u2019t have to have it that way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Federer, who turned professional in 1998, has collected an incredible 99 career singles titles, 20 of which have been Grand Slams.He is not expected to hang up his racket before the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, where he will look to add an individual gold alongside his doubles triumph at Beijing 2008.\u201cI think there is expectation from the media (that) it all has to end so perfectly. I\u2019ve given up on that a long time ago,\u201d Federer added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
