CNN  — 

When will Roger Federer retire? It is a question that tennis’ all-time great has been asked in recent years, especially after he suffered a freak knee injury in 2016 and moved into his mid and now late 30s.

In an interview with CNN Sport’s Christina Macfarlane, Federer didn’t sound like he would be stopping in 2019 – which marks his 21st year as a pro.

He’s feeling confident ahead of his title defense at the Australian Open that begins next week.

Far from being weighed down by two decades on tour, the 20-time grand slam winner continues to love the game and traveling the world with wife Mirka and their two sets of twins.
