Federer is regarded as one of the greatest players to ever play the game and tantalised crowds for more than two decades after breaking through as a teenager in the late 1990s.
The 43-year-old ended his career with eight Wimbledon titles and six Australian Open titles, with the ace also triumphing at the US Open on five occasions as well as lifting one French Open trophy.
I’m still playing some [tennis] – I’ve actually played quite a bit, especially since I launched the Wilson racket, the RF 01.
I’m really enjoying hitting. I play with my family, I play with my friends, and it’s been good fun.
And before this year’s event, the Swiss said: “I think that Team Europe is very strong this year – it’s stacked. Altitude is low which is in my mind going to make the best players win.
“I think we are – I always talk as we, because I’m Europe – in the singles matches, we are heavy favourites even though I know that Team World has great players right now that are red hot and playing super well.
I still think most of the matches in singles are going to go Team Europe’s way and then the doubles, I feel like most are going to go Team World’s way.
