Roger Federer is not playing tennis anymore but he'd like to remain active and keep playing sports as a fun activity.

To be able to enjoy life after tennis rather than utterly wrecking his knees was one of the driving forces behind Federer's decision not to launch a comeback in the sport. He was successful in doing that, although he continues to exercise caution with his knees.

"I'm still a bit scared when it comes to other sports,” Federer confessed during a UNIQLO event in Tokyo. “My knees are so-so. So that has to wait."

Leaving tennis gave him a lot of time to pursue other activities and what used to be a relaxing time for him now is adventure time: "In the past, holidays always had to be relaxing because my tour life was so stressful. Now the holidays can be more adventurous."

Despite more time, Federer is still working. He was recently in Tokyo for a UNIQLO event and then in London for a Mercedes-Benz charity event.
