Following statements from Andre Sa about Roger Federer’s withdrawal from the Australian Open, all observers have spoken out on the idea of the balance between family and state of form regarding the Swiss decision.
The latest is Simon Graf, Roger’s “biographer” who swept aside the theory of the forfeit for family reasons in a small tweet: “I hate to do this, but I think Roger would definitely have played the Australian Open if he had been tennis ready and at the level he had planned to participate. I am very optimistic, and I think he will play in Dubai in mid-March ”
It seems that Dubai is in pole position for many reasons such as the fact that it is at Federer’s, that he trains there, and that the tournament is also played outdoors. It is hard to see him getting into a bubble in Rotterdam without his family.
