Injury

Roger Federer announced on Sunday that he had suffered another injury that required his third knee surgery in the past 18 months.

In an Instagram video, Federer said he opted for another operation that would put him “on crutches for several weeks and then out of the game for several months.”

“I want to be healthy. I want to run again later, too, and I want to give myself a ray of hope, as well, to return to tour in some shape or form,” Federer said. he said. “I’m being realistic, don’t get me wrong. I know how difficult it is at this age to have just another surgery and try it.

Federer, who turned 40 last week, underwent his first knee surgery since the 2020 Australian Open and his second in June of the same year at the French Open before returning this past May. After losing the Wimbledon quarterfinals in the summer, the Swiss star was ruled out of the Tokyo Olympics with a knee injury.

Retirement

Roger Federer is unlikely to play the Australian Open in January as he recovers from his latest knee surgery, but retirement is not imminent for the 20-time Grand Slam champion, says his longtime coach Ivan Lubicic.“The chances of Roger Federer playing at the Australian Open are slim. He is 40 years old and is not recovering as fast as before. But he wants to compete again and will not retire suddenly,” Ljubi told Sky Sport TV on Sunday. “We’ll be seeing Roger again next year. I don’t know when exactly, but he’s going through rehabilitation. He’s recovering slowly, he’s in no rush.”Federer, 40, hasn’t played since his Wimbledon quarter-final loss to Hubert Herkaz and announced in August that he would undergo a third knee surgery.

Net Worth

Roger Federer is a Swiss-born professional tennis player who has a net worth of $550 million. As of this writing, his total Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) career earnings stand at $129 million. This is the second-highest amount in tennis history after Novak Djokovic’s nearly $145 million. On top of his tournament earnings, Roger has earned around $1 billion from advertising during his career so far.

If his body is ready he is hoping to play at Wimbledon in 2021.

Darren Cahill, a respected ESPN tennis analyst and former coach of two-time Grand Slam champion Simona Halep, initially said he was “very sure” Federer would return to Melbourne, but later went back on tweeting “he’s working hard”. It is possible to play AO.

Meanwhile, 35-year-old Rafael Nadal is expected to return to Abu Dhabi in December and play the Australian Open again.

Novak Djokovic’s status for the Australian Open is in doubt due to the vaccine mandate in the country. Djokovic has refused to disclose his vaccination status, meaning he will not be able to compete in Australia if proof of a double-jab is required.
