Roger Federer will ‘consider’ retirement U-turn to face Rafael Nadal

Tennis legend Roger Federer will ‘consider’ coming out of retirement for one last exhibition match against Rafael Nadal, says his agent Tony Godsick.

Federer, 43, played his last professional event at the 2022 Laver Cup in London and it is reported he’s weighing up a possible return in a non-playing role.

The Swiss icon, a 20-time major champion, could be tempted to play one final match against Nadal, though, according to his agent, if the right offer came along.

‘If there is an option to beat that one day, I’m sure Roger will consider it. They both like to collaborate.

‘I like working with [Nadal’s agent] Carlos Costa. I have very good memories. We did the half-grass, half-earth exhibition in Mallorca. Anything is possible in the future.’

Nadal, 38, is still active on the ATP Tour but has spoken openly about plans to hang up his racket on several occasions and doesn’t have long left in the sport.

Two of the greatest and most loved tennis players of all time, Federer and Nadal dominated the sport for two decades with fellow Big Three star Novak Djokovic.

Federer and Nadal were once fierce rivals but are now very close friends and even played together in doubles at the Laver Cup two years ago – a team tournament similar to golf’s Ryder Cup – which was founded by Federer and Godsick in 2017.
