Given Federer’s legacy, the world will be seeing him throughout the week to capture Federer’s last moments on the court. The Swiss maestro underwent his third knee surgery last year after Wimbledon and it was assumed that he would return around Wimbledon this year.
But his recovery didn’t go according to plan. He delayed his comeback by a few weeks and after all considerations, it was initially decided that he would come back at the Laver Cup and then play the Swiss Indoors in Basel. Despite all the effort, his surgery wasn’t effective, and given his age, 41, it was almost impossible for him to play and compete at the highest level. And hence he made the tough call and announced his retirement.
