Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic y Roger Federer They live very different moments: the Spaniard achieved his 21st Grand Slam, the Serbian could not compete in Australia because he was deported for not being vaccinated and the Swiss is facing the recovery of his last serious injury. The latter spoke about his future.
“I’m good. I walked with crutches for 2 months and had to start over. But it was the right thing. The knee was no longer good after Wimbledon. He couldn’t go on like this. I am in the process of rebuilding everything and now I can slowly think about my return. It will definitely take a while. The idea is to return in late summer or early fall. A few weeks ago I had an MRI on my knee and the results have been good.”he explained in a radio interview with the Swiss radio station SRF this Saturday.
With these words, Federer ratified his statements of November 2021 in which he assured that he would not be ready to participate in the Wimbledon tournament in Junebut did not clarify anything about the US Open, which starts on August 29.
Although some time ago he had said that the surgery on his knee was to protect his future quality of life with his family before thinking about competing again, in this same dialogue with SRF he explained that rehab is progressing well enough that he plans to return to play.
