Seit seinem Aus in Wimbledon fehlt Roger Federer verletzt. Nun äussert sich der Tennis-Superstar erstmals zu seinem Comeback und spricht darüber, wie er zurücktreten will.
English translation:
Compulsory break until summer 2022: «I believe in the miracle of returning again»
Roger Federer has been out injured since leaving Wimbledon. Now the tennis superstar is commenting on his comeback for the first time and talks about how he wants to resign.
Federer announced in the summer that he would have to undergo another operation.
That’s what it’s about
- Roger Federer is currently injured.
- It will be a little while before he gets back on the tour.
- “My ambition is to see what I can do one last time,” he says.
Swiss tennis star Roger Federer is currently injured. He played his last game in July at Wimbledon when the Pole Hubert Hurkacz pushed him out of the tournament. Around five weeks after Wimbledon ended, the 40-year-old announced in an Insta video that he would have to have another knee operation and that he would therefore be out for months. For the third time.
He has now put his crutches aside and spends a lot of time in rehab. And since his first major check-up with the doctors was very encouraging, Federer decided to make a plan for the next few months. He says: “In January I start light jogging, in March or April I start training on the tennis court, including more complex movements. Today I assume that I can return to competitive tennis in the summer of 2022. "
"I believe in this kind of miracle"
It is tough that it will go on for so long. For the 40-year-old tennis superstar as well as his millions of fans worldwide. Above all, Federer admits that he would be “extremely surprised” if he could play again at Wimbledon. The tournament will take place at the end of June / beginning of July 2022. Federer explains the extremely long injury break of one year as follows: “The meniscus had to be sewn in the summer, which required a certain period of rest. And the doctors took the opportunity to treat my cartilage as well. The combination of these two interventions requires patience and caution. "
But anyone who now thinks that Federer is no longer optimistic or unmotivated because of the injury is wrong. «My ambition is to see what I can do one last time. I also want to be able to say goodbye in my own way and on a tennis court. That's why I give everything in my rehab, "reveals Federer. «So that we don't get one another wrong: My world won't collapse if I never again contest a Grand Slam final. But it is my ultimate dream to come back again. In fact, I still believe in it.
I believe in this kind of miracle. "
