Roger Federer has done so much in his 17-year career as a tennis pro, but the Swiss Maestro does not plan on stopping there.

Federer has hinted he is yet to retire from playing tennis and will still play for the next two years after signing up to play at the Stuttgart grass court tournament in Germany until 2017, reports the NY Times. With Federer expected to play for the next two years, it would only mean fans would get to witness his tennis greatness and extend his rivalries against Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal for a while.

Federer is also looking to compete at the Rio Olympics, but admitted that it would not be his priority for 2016.

"It's not my No. 1 priority. It starts with the Australian Open, which is just around the corner," Federer said, reports NDTV Sports. "That's what I see next. Then once Australia's over, that's when I look more towards the future."

Federer is coming off a defeat against Djokovic in the final round of the ATP World Tour Finals in London, with the latter completing a four-peat at the event and finishing his season with 11 titles including three Grand Slam wins. The 34-year-old Swiss believes “Djoker” could repeat an “amazing” season next year, but admitted it would be a challenge for the Serb.

“Clearly he's going into next year with massive confidence,” Federer said, reports Tennis. "But right now you would think it is somewhat possible, but you can't just repeat a year like this. It's not as easy as it seems sometimes.”

Federer will join Djokovic, Nadal, and some of the world’s top tennis players in Asia’s International Premier League next month. The tournament legs will be played in Japan, Manila, Dubai, New Delhi, and Singapore.
