Hopes to win more Slams to stay relevant for the GOAT debate.
His extreme, chronic and well documented sore loser trait won’t allow him to concede defeat even if it comes at the expense of his physical well being (existence?).
It may be FAR less traumatic to be ‘eaten’ when ‘dead’ than being eaten ‘alive’, but at least you have SOME chance of fighting back or in the very least something happening to the one eating you. Eaten=Defeated. Alive=Still active on tour. Geeeeezzzzz!!!!!!!.
Hoping for Nadal’s knees to act up too to force him to stay put @ 20 for good and Djokovic to, at best, reach 20 while he (Federer) wins just one more Slam (Wimbledon) to stay ahead on the Slam pole.
Since Nadal matched 20, Mirka has taken her entire family and has sailed on the boat - for security reasons. She is now stationed in the middle of the ocean with all access to climb on to the boat from another one closed. Point: Federer has no one to talk to.
He thinks his serve ALONE is sufficient to win another Slam meaning knees don’t matter.
He has made a deal with ATP to hire ALL line judges @ future Slams from Switzerland.
He didn’t plan for retirement so he HAS to keep working - to maintain lavish lifestyle - and hair cuts.
Federer may be under the impression that this is an election and rabid fan base helps to win. Oh wait. Scratch that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rafa will get to 21 come FO. Federer has to win to just match that. He better bring his own team of line judges, for psychological support if not more.

Can Federer somehow get Rusty to help him?
