“My retirement is going to depend on my health,” express.co.uk quoted Federer as saying at a press conference held at a hotel in on Monday.

“At this moment I see no reason to stop. I think in 2009 I questioned it for the first time.

“(It’s been) ten years and here I am. I’m exactly where I wanted to be at this age.

“It is a lot of work stay. I expected to play until 35-36 and here I am, in a new dimension,” he added.

Federer has won a record 20 men’s singles Grand Slam titles and now is only one ahead of the 33-year-old Rafael Nadal.

The 38-year-old also has an exhibition match against Nadal scheduled for February 2020 in South Africa.
