Roger Federer suggested he could play on for another five years yesterday after the Swiss eased into the French Open last 16 with a straight-sets win over Damir Dzumhur.
It is the 11th consecutive year that Federer has made it past the third round at Roland Garros and the number two seed was untroubled as he won 6-4 6-3 6-2.
The 33-year-old last lifted a major trophy at Wimbledon in 2012 but he has been in good form this season and is yet to drop a set in Paris.
“Would winning a grand slam make me play longer? Possibly,” Federer said.
“I may stop the following day or I may go on for another five years, I don’t know.
“What I can tell you is that if I win Wimbledon or another grand slam, I’ll be extremely happy so it won’t make a difference.”
