There are plenty of examples of athletes continuing to participate in their respective sports with preoccupations much more critical than what Roger has faced, such as dealing with terminally-ill loved ones, their own battles with life-threatening disease, etc. etc.

Sorry, but I'm not going to be convinced that Roger's decision was purely made just because he loves the game.
