Roger Federer doesn’t see himself becoming a coach in the future

Swiss tennis superstar Roger Federer said that he doesn’t see himself becoming a coach in the future. However, he clarified that other tennis greats before him probably have the same mindset but became head coaches of top players of this generation.

“I don’t think (Ivan) Lendl or (Stefan) Edberg or (Boris) Becker or all those guys, they didn’t think of [coaching] either,” Federer said. “Me the same. I see myself more helping kids and all that stuff, which everybody sees themselves doing.

“Who knows what happens in five, ten, twenty years. My experience I have as a tennis player that will never go away. That’s why it will probably always be interesting to some degree to work with someone who achieved being world no.1 or winning Grand Slams and winning so many tournaments and going on winning streaks and facing the media and doing all these things.

“I learned by doing, and that can always be interesting for someone. But I don’t see myself as a coach, no.”
