'Don't count out' Federer returning in 2021, says former coach Roche | smhsport
Coaching legend Tony Roche says "don't count out" Roger Federer returning to the Australian Open in 2021 and says the tennis legend, who may slip marginally to No.4 in the rankings, is undoubtedly in the world's top three.

It’s just a matter if he wants to. Australian tennis great Ken Rosewall, who was still playing at a high level into his 40s, said the competition was getting harder for the six-time Australian Open champion.
