"It would be a pity if he made a fool of himself" - Tiriac on Federer's comeback

| by Evita Mueller

In a recent interview with Clay Tenis, Ion Tiriac spoke about Roger Federer's comeback and what can he achieve.

This season, the Swiss Maestro will compete in the Laver Cup, and he will also compete in the 2022 Swiss Indoors in Basel, where he has had great success in the past. No one knows what will happen then, although Roger Federer has stated that he would like to play in the 2023 season. Ion Tiriac, speaking on Federer's return, said:

“You can play tennis for fun. Which would be a great thing. Although, pay attention: it would be a pity if he made a fool of himself. I see it as a danger because he hasn’t played for so long… And he also makes mistakes. Coming to Roland Garros last year and left saying no, that he wants to prepare for Wimbledon… How can he afford to tell a Grand Slam like Roland Garros that he is going to leave for Wimbledon? He walks to Wimbledon directly, and he’s done. “

Ion Tiriac

"I am in favor of a rule that the ATP imposes so that the year-end pool bonus you can't collect it if you didn't play all the tournaments. You stop playing three tournaments a year and you still receive money from that pool. But how? Mr. Hamilton can't do that in Formula 1: I won a lot and then I don't play anymore. No, no, that's not right."
