The circuit stopped this week in Indian Wells. Your director, Tommy Haas, has spoken for L’Equipe about Roger Federer, one of his best friends in the world of tennis. Taking advantage of the fact that the Swiss made the news recently, when we saw him in the Laver Cup with crutches and assuring that his return is not going to happen soon, yet, Haas talks about how he sees Roger’s injury and
“Roger is happy. You have no reason not to be. He knows it and for that he is very grateful. He loves life, but he is still hungry. He still hopes he can come back. He wants to stop when he decides it’s time and tells himself that he doesn’t feel like doing it anymore or that he loses too often ”, Tommy begins by saying about the Swiss.
Federer, after a failed first attempt in Doha, returned on the clay tour and reached the second week at Roland Garros, when he stopped after feeling some discomfort in his knee. Then, at Wimbledon, he reached the quarterfinal round, where he clearly lost to Hurkacz, receiving a 0-6 against. “At Wimbledon he saw that he was a bit injured and that he wasn’t moving as well as he does. I am 100% sure that his goal is this tournament. He will do everything in his power to come back and go further than that round (QF), again, ”he says.
Haas thinks Roger Federer could return next spring
With the Australian Open totally ruled out for times, the now Indian Wells director believes that his return could come in April next year. “In 2017 we already saw him win Australia, Indian Wells and Miami to the point that the four-five-month breaks would be great for him to take them often. It all depends on how you feel physically. We may see him back in March, April or May, ”concludes Haas.
