Federer is being labelled by many as the greatest player of all time after completing the career Grand Slam and moving level with Pete Sampras on a record 14 Major titles with his straight-sets win over Robin Soderling in Sunday's Roland Garros final.

"It hasn't once entered my mind yet that I want to retire. My life is in great shape right now," he said.

"I've always said it doesn't matter when I retire, I'll be at peace," Federer added.

"I can walk away from this game tomorrow but I choose not to because I love it too much.

With question marks hanging over the state of arch rival Rafael Nadal's knees, a buoyant Federer could even be on the cusp of a new period of dominance.

Nadal has taken Federer's Wimbledon crown and his world number one ranking, and also beat the Swiss in the finals of last year's French Open and this year's Australian Open.

However, the Spaniard's hegemony at Roland Garros ended last week when Soderling handed him his first defeat on the Parisian clay and he is now a doubt for Wimbledon because of knee trouble.

"People talked about me having lost my grip," Federer said.

"To some degree I guess it's true, because I lost my number one ranking. But I didn't fall out of the top 10 or the top 1000. I still played very consistently, especially at grand-slam level, and my record shows it."
