Yeah its a shame that this virus has affected everything in the world. I just wonder if this helps Federer continue his career into 2021 as like I have said in here, I do suspect that the current season might not go ahead for months or will he just announce his retirement at the end of the year? It will be interesting to see what he does this year.
I think if there is someone who are going to
'benefit' from this cancellations of tennis schedules, it will be Roger Federer. He can still take more rest, no pressure for him to come back, since all games are suspended.
Definitely, this postponement will give Roger more time to heal, he is old and additional time to recover is very beneficial to him.
So there is a chance that he can still go way beyond this year and play in 2021 as his body has ample rest and he could get back fully recovered. So I doubt that he will announce his retirement at the end of the year.
I don't know what his timeframe for a comeback, but seeing what is going on with the sporting world today as many tournaments have been push through, he could set a new retirement year in 2021.
@absy - Father Time will eventually caught us, so I don't think Roger is afraid of it, he is just delaying the inevitable so maybe next year perhaps he will retire.
