In an interview with CNBC over the weekend, Federer said the idea of ​​a special tour for retired players is completely feasible. Most likely, he and Nadal will be present on a tour or at least a performance match to respond to the love of the fans.

"Why not? ", Federer said when asked about reuniting with Nadal on the court. "I really like Nadal and I'm playing a lot of tennis. I played four hours in San Francisco and an hour and a half in Los Angeles. I want to be in the best shape ".

According to Federer, "tennis for the elderly " is a concept that sounds bad to him and Nadal. However, a tour by two of the greatest tennis players of all time still makes them excited and hungry.

"One of the reasons I started the Laver Cup is to honor the legends, " Federer added. "We used to have a tour of legends because there were so many people who wanted to see them play. We will definitely be serious about this idea ".

Federer retired after the 2022 Laver Cup, while Nadal retired from tennis last year. They won 20 and 22 Grand Slams respectively after two decades of competing at the top. Over the years, the couple regularly met and discussed projects and future plans. Federer's children study at the Nadal academy every summer vacation.

"After I retired, I spent time arranging my schedule and everything, it wasn't easy at all ", Federer shared. "I'm happy to be busy, but I have to be careful not to do too much work. It's great that I still go to the gym four times a week. A week after retiring, I bought equipment to create a private gym in my house. That was the first time I had a proper gym for myself, which is strange. "

Some big brands have offered to organize matches of Federer, Nadal and some legends. The tour may take place in many cities around the world, but the time and hosting method have not been disclosed. Federer has just successfully organized the 2025 Laver Cup. The tournament he founded took place in San Francisco, California, USA from September 19-21, with a 15-9 victory for the World team over the European team.
