TonEnnis Star Roger Federer He underwent surgery for the third time on his right knee and is unlikely to return to the ATP Tour this year. The Swiss said in an Instagram video a week after his 40th birthday: “I need crutches for several weeks, and I will be out for several months.”
The 20-time Grand Slam champion recently cancelled his participation in the ATP Masters in Toronto and Cincinnati, and the start of the US Open (from August 30) has been uncertain. It is now clear that Federer will not be there.
Federer said on Sunday: “I want to tell you the latest situation of what has happened since Wimbledon. I have done a lot of medical examinations, including my knee. They told me that I need surgery. I will do it.”
Federer, who has abandoned the Tokyo Olympics because of problems, wants to fight. The end of the career is still not a problem. “I hope to return to the tournament. But I’m very realistic,” Federer said. “I know how difficult it is to have another operation at this age.”
Intervention is “the right thing, because I want to be healthy, because I want to be able to run around in the future.” Federer withdrew from the French Open in June after entering the last sixteen to make time for Wimbledon. At the famous London Championships, he lost in the quarter-finals.
