Speaking to The i, the controversial Australian lamented the state of men's tennis by branding it 'boring'.
"At the moment, tennis is pretty boring, to be honest," he said. "There’s not many rivalries. I’ve watched and broken it down and and been commentating on it.
"The level is amazing, but there’s more rivalries and more excitement on the women’s side.
"[Emma] Raducanu vs [Aryna] Sabalenka was an amazing match, [Amanda] Anisimova vs Sabalenka.

"There was more bitterness and more of a rivalry in these matches than I’m seeing on the men’s side, which is why we watch sport.
"We watch sport for the excitement of two people, maybe not liking each other.
"I think we’ve got some great personalities as well. I think [Jack] Draper going down early, [Frances] Tiafoe going down, and some of these more personality guys that went down early didn’t help.
"I think, especially with the growth of pickleball and padel, we are in need of something. I’m not sure what it is."

Federer quit the sport back in 2022 after winning 20 majors.

"Alcaraz and Sinner are going to be carrying the torch for the next 10 to 15 years."
Alcaraz is aiming to do what Nadal couldn't by winning three Wimbledon titles.
