Todd Woodbrige, former number one of the classification of the ATP in doubles mode, he gave an interview to Tennis Head in which he analyzed the possibilities of Roger Federer to become champion at Roland Garros. «At this stage of his career, Wimbledon is he Grand Slam in which he can have his opportunity to increase his record, “said the winner of 16 Majors.
Federer’s inactivity
Roger Federer has not played tennis professionally since January 30. On that occasion, he fell 6-7 4-6 3-6 to Novak Djokovic for the semifinals of Australian Open. In June, he underwent the second arthroscopy of his right knee so far this year, after he suffered from his injury, and warned that he would not compete for the remainder of the season. After the first intervention, which occurred in February and was the second of his entire career, he was expected to return well for the turf tour, especially for Wimbledon.
The reason for its decline for Australia
“Roger has decided not to play the Australian Open 2021. He has had a strong evolution in the last couple of months with his knee and physical capacity. However, after consulting with his team, it was decided that it was better in the long term for him to return to competitive tennis after Australia. ” manager Tony Godsick in a statement issued a couple of days ago.
Woodbridge’s statements
“At this stage in your career, Wimbledon is the Grand Slam where you can have your chance to increase your track record,” began partner tennis legend Todd Woodbrige. It should be noted that the Swiss won 8 Wimbledon throughout his career, making him the highest Grand Slam winner played on grass in history.
“The unknown will be how he recovers from the efforts. Can your body hold up after a tough game? He has so much talent and tennis so natural that he can beat anyone, the problem may be his ability to recover between games, “said Woodbridge. Federer’s long absence is indeed anyone’s guess. Although in 2016 he returned very well, the age is not the same. But do not forget that we are talking about Federer.
