Roger Federer has said he is "definitely done" playing professional tennis and has no plans to come out of retirement after announcing last week that he was quitting the sport.
Speaking on NBC's "TODAY" show in an interview set to air Wednesday, Federer, 41, expressed certainty over his decision to retire from the sport after being a face of men's tennis for two decades.
In a clip from the interview with host Savannah Guthrie, Federer said he had no plans of following in the steps of other athletes, including NFL star Tom Brady, who returned to football after a very brief stint in retirement this summer.
"You know, unretiring is a thing now," Guthrie says in the clip, pointing to Brady's decision. "Serena seems to be wavering a little," she said, referencing tennis star Serena Williams.
