Fact Check:Why Is Roger Federer Not Playing In The Australian Open 2022? Is He Retired?
Roger Federer, after announcing his absence from the Australian Open 2022, already had brewed for his retirement gossip. As his competitor, Rafael Nadar is competing for his 21st Grand Slam title today, his name with maximum Grand Slam is at risk. Actually, both the players were trailing the titles until today.
Nadar’s game has put Federer in the spotlight as much as his own game. Netizens are on their toes to see the result and are predicting if Nadar will beat the record or are the veterans trailing the title this year too.
Roger again revealed that he has stopped fancying the battle and is ready to give up the title. This gives a clue that the Swiss veteran is soon biding goodbye to tennis and we can hope for his retirement right after the Australian Open.

In the interviews he had given then, he always mentioned he was more excited to take up the challenge and go to the field healing after the injury. He never talked about his retirement. Hence, we can expect that the tennis legend is thinking of returning after his recovery.
