What happened to
Roger Federer has been noticeably absent from tennis tournaments over the last nine months.
The 40-year-old, who has won 20 Grand Slams, last competed competitively in July 2021 at Wimbledon.
The Swiss star was eliminated in the quarter-finals after losing in straight sets 6-3 7-6 6-0 to Hubert Hurkacz.
That lopsided match suggested something was wrong with Federer, which he confirmed one month later.“I just wanted to give you a quick update on what’s been going on since Wimbledon.”
As you can imagine, it hasn’t been easy,” Federer said in an Instagram video posted in August 2021.
“I’ve also had a lot of doctor checks on my knee.”
Retirement 2022
Roger Federer, the legendary Swiss tennis player, has announced his retirement after next week’s Laver Cup, after admitting on Thursday that his battles with a knee problem had forced him to call it quits.
“My final ATP event will be the Laver Cup next week in London,” he announced on social media.
The 41-year-old Grand Slam champion has been sidelined since a quarter-final loss at Wimbledon in 2021, when he underwent his third knee surgery in 18 months.
He wrote, “The last 24 years on tour have been an incredible adventure.”
“While it sometimes feels like 24 hours flew by, it has also been so deep and magical that it feels like I’ve already lived a lifetime.”
Federer has been plagued by a knee injury for the past three years, limiting him to only three of the 11 Grand Slams held since the beginning of 2020.
Serena Williams, another tennis legend, is almost certain not to play again after exiting the US Open in the third round earlier this month.
Federer stated that his body had effectively told him it was time to close the curtain.
“I’ve worked hard to get back to full competitive form,” he says.
