Though, not as a player, but as a member of the BBC commentary team

Tennis legend Roger Federer is in talks to join the BBC's Wimbledon 2023 coverage in a commentary role.

Federer retired from tennis in 2022 at the O2 Arena in London after losing his doubles match alongside Rafael Nadal at the Laver Cup. Following his retirement, the 41-year-old revealed his desire to be involved with the sport in some way but did not divulge any specifics.

According to recent reports, the Swiss athlete could be involved as a commentator on the BBC's revamped Wimbledon production this year, which will also include different presenters and a new studio being built on top of the old broadcasting centre in London, England.

During a press conference at the 2022 Laver Cup, Roger Federer discussed his life after retirement. He said that while he had a great career, it was now time for him to do different things and spend more time with his family.
