The 19-time Grand Slam champion said he has no plans to retire in the near future, but for him family is the first at the moment. "For me, I have come to realise that sometimes less is more. So for me, the family is my priority and then the rest," Federer explained. "Shanghai is a great tournament, and I'd like to bring my family to, not just Shanghai, China in general. It's such a diverse, interesting country with so much rich history that I'd like to visit more," Federer added.
