Roger Federer continues to advance in his rehabilitation of the operation he underwent on his right knee. A recovery that the Swiss is carrying with great patience and prudence … and that It could have an impact on the planning of the 2022 season.
Federer has given an interview published this Wednesday by the Swiss newspaper La Tribune de Genève in which he analyzes how this recovery is progressing and where he reveals good and bad news: will return to the tennis courts but this return could occur after the summer of 2022, so the Swiss would not play the Australian Open (something that his coach Ivan Ljubicic already ruled out), Roland Garros and not at Wimbledon, his favorite Grand Slam. “I would be very surprised if he could play at Wimbledon,” Federer said.
The reason for this late return is because Federer’s recovery times have been lengthened and the doctors advised the Swiss tennis player not to be in a hurry to recover from his knee and meniscus treatment. “This summer we have decided to heal the injury to my meniscus and that implies that there will be a period of immobilization. Doctors also took the opportunity to treat my cartilage. The combination of these two interventions requires patience and prudence. “
However, the fact that it takes almost a year to see Federer in action again does not discourage the Swiss, who still dreams of playing a Grand Slam final again. “My ambition is to see once more what I am capable of. My life is not going to collapse if I do not play a Grand Slam final again, but it would be a dream to return to one of them and, in fact, I think I can do it. “, manifested.
