Federer last played on tour more than a year ago, at Wimbledon in 2021, after which he required knee surgery for the third time.
"The last three years have been tough to say the least," the 41-year-old Swiss great told BBC television on Wednesday. "I tried to come back but there was a limit to what I could do. And I stopped believing in it, to be honest."
