Federer is at the Australian Open for the first time since 2020 for a special ceremony on Saturday to honour his career.
The former world number one won 20 Grand Slam titles – including a men’s record of eight Wimbledon triumphs – and claimed 103 ATP Tour titles.
The six-time Melbourne champion will also return to the Rod Laver Arena court to play in an exhibition alongside fellow legends Andre Agassi, Patrick Rafter and Lleyton Hewitt.
Before the rare appearance, Federer says he is finding retirement “much easier” than he anticipated and is able to spend more time at home with his family.
While he enjoys spending time on court with his children, and “loves” watching as a fan, he does not have any plans to move into coaching.
“Never say never. [Stefan] Edberg said the same. I’m very busy, I’ve got four children. No chance for the moment.” Federer added.
