Age and injuries are clearly a major obstacle for Federer, who turned 40 on August 8. Despite two surgeries, Federer's knee has not recovered.
Age and injury are clearly major obstacles for Federer.
On the morning of August 16, tennis star Roger Federer announced that he would be out of action for "several months" and preparing for his third knee surgery in two years. With this situation, the Swiss legend will definitely not be able to participate in the 2021 US Open.
Federer last appeared on the tennis court at Wimbledon 2021 in England, where he reached the quarterfinals, but then lost 0-3 to young talent Hubert Hurkacz. Since then, Federer has withdrawn from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, as well as not registered to participate in two important Masters 1000 tournaments in Toronto (Canada) and Cincinnati (USA).
Age and injuries are clearly a major obstacle for Federer, who turned 40 on August 8. Despite two surgeries, Federer's knee is still not stable and he will have to go under the knife again in the near future.
This time, Federer will have to rest for many months, and will definitely miss tournaments in September such as the US Open or Laver Cup. According to the plan, Federer will not be able to return to the court until next spring at the earliest.
On his personal Instagram page, Federer shared the status: "I will be on crutches for weeks and will not be able to play tennis for months." Federer also implied that he wants to ensure a healthy life later and that is a priority over competing again.
“It will be difficult, but I know it is the right decision, because I want to be healthy, I want to be able to run in the future. Of course, I also want to give myself hope that I can return to the field. But I am a realistic person. I know that at this age it will be very difficult to recover from surgery again,” he said.
With this decision, Federer will almost certainly be left behind in the race to become the tennis player with the most Grand Slams. Currently, he shares the record of 20 Grand Slams with Rafael Nadal (Spain) and Novak Djokovic (Serbia). The possibility of Federer being able to participate in the 2022 Australian Open is still open while by Wimbledon 2022, he will be nearly 41 years old.
