Therein, speaking about Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal’s post-retirement life, the Croatian coach emphasised that there are several numbers one’s disappeared from the game after ending their career. Still, he anticipates Swiss, and Spaniard will stay over a period of time.

“Nadal Already Has His Academy and Roger His Agency”: Ivan Ljubicic

Swiss Maestro’s coach also foresees that Federer and Nadal would work with tennis for a while after retirement because of their relevant creations.

While Rafa runs an international tennis academy in his hometown Manacor, Roger and his management company Team 8 hold Laver Cup every year.

The Croatian added, “Well, I don’t decide that. Nadal already has his academy. Roger his agency, and then he created the Laver Cup… After that I don’t know, I can’t know how things will go. In my opinion, they won’t be doing one thing full time.”
