Roger Federer said he won’t play again until mid-2022

Swiss tennis player Roger Federer plans to be able to play again in mid-2022, which means he will miss the Australian Open and Roland Garros, and almost certainly his favourite Wimbledon event, as he must continue with the recovery of his right knee that had to be operated on again last August. I will be able to run quietly again in January and resume sessions on the track with complex support in March or April. So now I estimate that my return to competition will be in mid-2022,” Federer told Swiss newspaper Le Matin. In this sense, the Basel sees complicated even to be in the All England Tennis Club next year and confessed that he would be “extremely surprised to be able to play at Wimbledon”, making it clear that he does not want to have precipitation in his recovery. The winner of 20 ‘Grand Slams’ went through the operating room to solve the problems with the meniscus of his right knee and the doctors “took the opportunity to treat the cartilage as well”. “The combination of these two interventions requires patience and prudence,” Federer said. My ambition is to see what I am capable of for the last time. I would also like to be able to say goodbye in my own way and on a tennis court, that’s why I’m giving everything in my rehabilitation, but, let’s be clear, my life is not going to fall asleep if I don’t play a ‘Grand Slam’ final again. To play again would be my last dream and I still think I can do it, I believe in this kind of miracles,” admitted the 40-year-old Swiss.
