On Friday, Roger Federe said the timing of his return to the courts was still uncertain, just weeks ahead of the US Open, but the tennis legend remained upbeat after turning 40.
Federer, who has only played 13 matches in 2021, having been out for more than a year with two knee surgeries, pulled out of the Tokyo Olympics and subsequent tournaments to rest his knee.
After turning 40 on Sunday, Federe said he was learning to adjust to the fact that recovering from niggles takes two weeks rather than two days.
“I am fine. I was on holiday. I haven’t done anything for a while because of my knee. I had to stop everything after Wimbledon”, he told Blick newspaper.
