Federer was received with a standing ovation from the Boston crowd as he entered the stadium during the first day of the Laver Cup. He met all the 12 players and everyone was happy to see him there. The 40-year old was overwhelmed by the reception he got and said that he had a wonderful time in Boston.

“The reception I’ve received, everybody is so upbeat that I’m here. They wish me all the best and they don’t even see the crutches. They just want me to be good again and enjoy the weekend,” Federer said. “I’ve seen some incredible tennis, some great matches and it’s been wonderful. I’m really happy I made the trip.”

“I’ve got to first walk again properly, run properly and then do the sidesteps and all the agility work and then eventually I’ve got to be back on the tennis court. But it’s going to take me a few more months and then we’ll see how things are at some point next year.”

Federer emphasized that he will take his time to stage a comeback and is currently in a really good place.

He said: “I’ve got to take my time. I don’t want to rush into anything at this point. This is also for my life. I want to make sure I can do everything I want to do later on. There’s no rush with anything, so I’m actually in a really good place. I think the worst is behind me. I took the time and, I don’t know, I’m just really in a good place. I’m really happy.”
