Swiss tennis maestro Roger Federer will not be playing in the Australian Open and even cast doubts on his Wimbledon 2022 participation.
Swiss tennis maestro Roger Federer will not be playing in the Australian Open and even cast doubts on his Wimbledon 2022 participation. Federer underwent arthroscopic right knee surgeries in February 2020 and May 2020. Federer has played five tournaments since having those surgeries, all of which came this season. "I will be able to resume running quietly in January and resume sessions on the court with complex support in March or April. I would be incredibly surprised if I would be playing again already in Wimbledon. This summer it was decided to suture the lesion to my meniscus, which involves some downtime," Lematin.ch quoted Federer as saying.
"My ambition is to see what I'm capable of one last time. I also wish I could say goodbye in my own way and on a tennis court. That's why I give my all in my rehabilitation," he added.
Earlier, Federer's coach Ivan Ljubicic also spoke about the 20-time Grand Slam champion missing out from the Australian Open.
"I think the Australian Open is not a real possibility right now," Ljubicic had told Stats Perform.
