Roger Federer won’t be serving in Toronto or Cincinnati.
Roger Federer (39) has already given up on the Olympics in Tokyo, now he cancels two more tournaments.
As the ATP announced, those responsible for the National Bank Open in Toronto and the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati have announced that Roger Federer will not travel to the tournaments. As before, his knee prevents him from participating.
In Toronto and Montréal, which alternate between hosting the ATP and WTA tournaments every year, Federer has won two titles so far. In Cincinnati he is the record winner with a total of seven titles.
Is it enough for the US Open?
Thus, two more weeks will pass without Federer denying a serious fight. The US Open will begin on August 30th. Now there is only one way to get some match practice before the US Open. So it’s hard to imagine that Federer will have a serious fight before it starts in New York. If he can be there at all.
