Roger Federer, the Swiss tennis legend, is one of the most remarkable athletes of our day. He has become one of the most inspirational players in the world given the way he has built his empire over the last two decades. His warm and pleasant demeanour has won him a lot of fans all around the world.
Roger was recently seen attending an alpine ski race. Wendy Holdener, a Swiss racer, was one of the racers he met out there. She was in splits when she ran into him. The racer couldn’t believe to see the great man in front of her. “I couldn’t say no to his hug,” Wendy said after their encounter.
She can be seen in the video beaming and giggling around Federer, being absolutely star-struck by him. Wendy, on the other hand, has cemented her position in history. She is a five-time Olympic medallist and a two-time World champion in combined events. Holdener was an accomplished junior athlete as well.
Roger Federer expected to make a comeback soon
Federer has been out of the game for some time. After enduring another knee surgery near the conclusion of last season, he has been slowly but steadily returning to normalcy. Federer hasn’t been seen since last season’s Wimbledon Championships. He was eliminated in the quarterfinals by Hubert Hurkacz, which was a setback for his team given his previous success at the site.
He had previously played at the French Open 2021 but withdrew before the fourth round to stay fit for Wimbledon which was scheduled to begin in less than a month’s time. After more than a season, he was competing in his maiden Grand Slam event at the Australian Open 2020.
The Swiss maestro plans to hit the courts shortly. He’s been working on his recovery in order to return to the practice courts as soon as possible. Sevrin Luthi, his coach and companion, recently expressed similar sentiments but said it was tough to imagine him making it in time for the Wimbledon Championships this year.
