Roger Federer It is the big loss for the Australian Open 2021. It was believed that knee recovery (after a double surgery in 2020) was the main reason but this Thursday, January 7, another version appeared.
Andre Sa, director of player relations for the Australian Open, told Ace Band Sports about the talk he had with Federer: “The main reason was the quarantine. I spoke to him a month ago and he had two options. He could come with all the family and self-quarantine. The problem is that Mirka and her children could not leave the room. They would have to stay 14 days in the room. The exception is for players only. He could go out, train and come back, but the family could not. Mirka did not approve of the idea. “
“The second option would be for him to come alone. And that meant being at least five weeks away from family and children. From what he told me: “Dude, I’m 39, four kids, and 20 Grand Slams. I no longer have time to be away from my family for five weeks, “said Sa about Her Majesty, who has not played since the 2020 Australian Open.
