Roger Federer konows his body, and when he thinks he can return to the highest level, we must believe that he can do it. The last two years have been quite complicated for the Swiss maestro, who is suffering from a severe right knee injury.
Suffice it to say that the former world number 1 played just 13 official matches in 2021, collecting nine wins and four losses. The Round of 16 at Roland Garros and the quarter-finals at Wimbledon were his best season results, far too few for a champion of his caliber.
After losing sharply to the championship against Hubert Hurkacz, the king announced that he had suffered a relapse of the knee and had to undergo surgery for the third time. The 40-year-old Baseler is still struggling with rehabilitation and will not be back in action until late summer / early autumn.
The Laver Cup might be the ideal place for his return, but it’s still too early to say no. Despite the many difficulties that have arisen lately, the 40-year-old Basel has not lost his optimism.
