NEW YORK — Roger Federer was asked yet again about retirement on Tuesday.
The short answer is this.
He thinks it’s good for James Blake, but isn’t planning his own anytime soon.
“I’m in a very good spot right now and I want to enjoy it as long as it lasts, yeah,” Federer, 32, said after advancing to his 14th straight second round at the U.S. Open with a 6-3, 6-2, 7-5 win over Grega Zemlja of Slovenia.
The match was postponed from Monday night because of the threat of rain, and Federer sounded slightly perturbed about that.
“They cancelled us fairly quickly, I thought last night,” he said.
In the past, Federer has said he plans to continue to play for the foreseeable future, including possibly competing in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
