Roger Federer\u2019s former coach, Ivan Ljubicic, has now made a bold prediction about his former student\u2019s future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Swiss superstar remains a leading figure in the tennis community, even if he is not quite as involved as he once was.<\/p>\n

Having retired in 2022, the 43-year-old now only makes rare but spectacular appearances at the sport to which he gave so much. His recent arrival at Wimbledon was met with rapturous applause, as an eight-time record champion at the event.<\/p>\n

It is snippets like this which have many fans craving for his increased involvement within tennis, in any capacity.<\/p>\n

Whether it be punditry, exhibition matches, coaching or something else entirely, it\u2019s unlikely anyone would care. Just as long as Roger Federer<\/a> was back on their screens.<\/p>\n

Roger Federer\u2019s former coach makes bold prediction about his future<\/strong><\/p>\n

The epitome of class and elegance, he was unsurprisingly the dominant topic when Ljubicic spoke to Swiss-German outlet Tages-Anzeiger<\/a> late last week.<\/p>\n

Asked if he felt like Federer might ever return to tennis in a coaching capacity, his answer was firm.<\/p>\n

The question posed was: \u201cFederer seems to be at peace with himself after his career. Do you share this impression?\u201d<\/p>\n

Ljubicic responded: \u201cAbsolutely. He\u2019s way too smart to be stressed. I didn\u2019t doubt for a second that he would enjoy his life after his career. He still travels a lot, which he loves, has some business obligations. He did a great job. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe has remained connected to tennis, with the Laver Cup alone. He still wants to be there, but without having a specific role or function. I don\u2019t think he\u2019ll ever take one [a coaching job] either.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jannik Sinner did surpass a Federer Grand Slam record<\/a> in reaching the Wimbledon final, and is now on the warpath towards his magic eight titles.<\/p>\n

Roger Federer\u2019s Wimbledon record seems safe from Carlos Alcaraz for now<\/strong><\/p>\n

Federer will have been watching Sunday\u2019s gentleman\u2019s Wimbledon final with interest, given how Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> has started his career at the All-England Club.<\/p>\n

After all, with back-to-back titles over the two previous years, the Spaniard had moved to within six more triumphs of equalling his record.<\/p>\n

He stands alone with eight titles, with even the great Novak Djokovic currently falling short. The Serbian seems destined to be stuck on seven with the emergence of Alcaraz and Sinner.<\/p>\n

And whilst that might offer some solace to Federer, the 22-year-old is arguably an even bigger threat given how it seems like only one man will challenge him at Wimbledon for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

At least he will remain the only man to have won his first five Wimbledon finals; unless Sinner is now about to start his own reign of terror on the grass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Roger Federer\u2019s former coach, Ivan Ljubicic, has now made a bold prediction about his former student\u2019s future.
