Federer should play doubles and try to get overall slam record, held by Emerson (28).
Even if he doesn't make it, doubles are ideal for him. It's low effort.
He could team up with Nadal and play doubles in slams for the next couple of years, everyone would watch them.
It's better to play doubles for real silverware and real excitement than exos. And he will play exos.

I doubt that Federer has ever heard of that Emerson guy.

He cannot practice at the elite level any more... thus his retirement.

You can't make some of this ludicrous stuff up you read on RST!
He's never going to be respected or beloved as much he's respected and beloved on tennis court. For some reason he has this cult worshiping and they'd all love to see him in action.
He's not a person with many interests or shaped opinions outside of tennis.
If his body is kaputt, well then he can't do it, obviously, but imagine him and Rafa playing doubles in slams, in matches with real stakes?
If he kept his health, it would have been entirely doable and profitable for him to transition to doubles in his early 40s and try to get couple of slams there, which he surely would.
McEnroe played doubles in ATP in 2006.

MCENROE WINS DOUBLES TITLE
John McEnroe capped his comeback to the ATP Tour with a surprise doubles victory in the San Jose Open final on Sunday, the veteran partnering Swede Jonas Bjorkman to a 7-6 4-6 10-7 win over Paul Goldstein and Jim Thomas.
Appearing in his first ATP tournament since 1994, the 47-year-old American displayed plenty of the trademark deft touches that once made him the number one player in the world.
"I'm surprised that it went to the final tiebreaker, but the right team won," McEnroe told reporters after the match.
The thing is, I find real doubles with real stakes, especially slams, a lot more fun that single exos. And Federer will play exos if his body permits him.
Even if yesterday wasn't a farewell match, people would flock to watch Federer and Nadal in doubles.
And they would do so in Melbourne, Paris, Wimbledon, New York...
