Shortly after the 2020 Australian Open, Roger Federer announced that he was undergoing knee surgery. At the time, it was scheduled to return to the original ATP calendar in June. Unfortunately, his recovery did not go as planned and therefore had to undergo another surgery. This caused him to end his 2020 season which is something Toni Nadal wasn’t happy to hear. Look what he said.

Toni Nadal on Roger Federer
In a recent interview with Mundo Deportivo that has been translated, Rafael Nadal Toni’s uncle spoke about many things. One of these things was about Roger Federer’s 2020 season ending, which revealed how he felt when he heard the news. He said:
“I’m sorry because he’s a person I like to watch. I don’t like it so much when he plays against my nephew because he has a lot of tension, but he is a great champion that I would like to see compete indefinitely. It’s bad news in the tennis world. From here I wish Roger the best possible recovery and that all is well. I’m sorry for him having decided not to compete anymore and hopefully the knee will finally recover. “
After hearing about this injury, many tennis fans were worried that Roger might consider retirement. The Swiss master has made this clear by saying that he hopes to be ready for the 2021 season even though he is almost 40 years old.
It’s amazing to see Roger still play tennis at his age. He is currently leading the GOAT race while holding the record for most Grand Slams. But it may not hold it longer as its rivals Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are getting closer.
He must win more Majors to secure his GOAT position than tennis. And hopefully, he will be able to do this when he returns to the Australian Open in 2021.
