BASEL, Switzerland — Like many dads, Roger Federer is talking with his family about how to spend Christmas.
But unlike most, the father-of-four has the 2017 holidays on his mind — on the eve of the tennis season when he will turn 36.
It is an age few reach while still on tour. Yet the player who beat Rafael Nadal in three sets to take the Swiss Indoors title on Sunday seemed far from retirement.
"I have a very clear plan how '16 is going to be until December," Federer told The Associated Press in an interview after winning his hometown event for a seventh time.
