The former world number 1 and the legendary Roger Federer has stayed away from the court for far too long for the fans to bear. Federer was knocked out in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon by the Polish star Hubert Hurkacz, and shortly after the tournament, he announced that he would have to undergo knee surgery. The surgery and rehabilitation process ensured that Roger stayed away from the ATP tour. However, the hiatus was longer than expected, and the Swiss wizard is looking to get back into a competitive mood.
He had recently posted some pictures on Instagram about his journey back to the gym, and he looked fit as a fiddle. Federer had announced that he would team up with Rafael Nadal, his longtime friend, and arch-rival, to represent Team Europe in the Laver Cup. Roger Federer will also be expected to turn up for the grass season, as the Swiss wouldn’t want to miss the Wimbledon, even with all that mess going around the tournament.
