While Federer stated that his body has had enough, millions of his admirers around the world are driven by an inexplicable desire to see him compete endlessly. On Thursday, Roger Federer announced his retirement after 15,000 games, 20 Grand Slam victories, and 24 years. Earlier on Thursday, Federer released a statement in which he said that his body had effectively instructed him to call it quits on a career that saw him win 20 Grand Slam singles titles. His final opportunity to compete as a member of the "Big Four," who dominated tennis for the past two decades, will come at the Laver Cup team competition in London.
It was over in an instant. Although you always knew it was coming, a "maybe one last time" rider was constantly flashing. We now know it's not true. There won't be a farewell tour or a midnight despair grind. Beyond the Laver Cup the following week, Roger Federer won't be playing for us. Federer personifies not only the sport of tennis but also what it means to be a tennis superstar. He is endearing, elegant, articulate, and unyielding. He has created a cult of loyalty to himself and his brand via his unwavering perseverance and extraordinary abilities.
Federer, though, eats well to keep up his athletic superiority. So, what does a tennis player who has won 20 Grand Slam tournaments eat?
Federer adores homemade waffles with a fresh fruit compote on the morning before a match, according to reports, and prefers sweet foods to savoury ones to start his day. Federer drinks coffee, fresh juice, and a dose of vinegar to go with his waffles.
Federer often eats snack bars in between practise sessions or competition games. Bananas, which are a wonderful source of potassium and carbohydrates, are also something he eats. Tennis players may lose energy during lengthy matches, and if they lose too much potassium, they may get cramps. Players like Roger Federer can replenish with the aid of bananas. However, research indicates that refuelling an athlete's body during competition may be best accomplished with energy beverages. This is so because liquids are more quickly absorbed by the body than solid foods like a banana.
Variety is the flavour of life when Federer goes out to dinner. He recently declared, "I enjoy Indian, Italian, and Japanese restaurants. But not all of them are healthy foods. Federer can't help but have a sweet tooth and enjoy ice cream. He recently reportedly quipped, "I enjoy my ice cream, and I like my chocolate." "That's how I eat. I don't feel awful about enjoying goodies. I can play tennis and do it at the same time." He is familiar with cheeses because he is Swiss and enjoys fonduta, a delicacy that blends milk, cream, cheese, and egg yolk. He also consumes raclette, a hot cheese that is scraped onto a dish before melting. When celebrating success, Roger loves to booze too.
Well, Roger's Retirement was inevitable and it has happened. We wish him luck for his future and thank him for entertaining us.
