Another knee operation: end of season for Federer

The Grand Slam record champion had to undergo an operation on his right knee in February, and on Wednesday he reported on another operation via Twitter. Federer had actually planned to return to the tour in the summer, which was interrupted until July 31 due to the coronavirus pandemic. pic.twitter.com/zXnR7gAZQA

- Roger Federer (@rogerfederer) June 10, 2020 A few weeks ago he “suffered a setback” in his rehabilitation, as the 38-year-old wrote on Wednesday. Therefore, he had to have “an additional quick arthroscopic procedure on my right knee,” which forced him to end the season early. He is looking forward to “seeing everyone back on the tour at the start of the 2021 season.”

Federer has suffered comparatively few serious injuries in his unique career. In 2016 he had to undergo surgery on his left knee, and the following year he won, among other things, Wimbledon and the Australian Open. At the Grand Slam tournament in Melbourne in January 2020, he repeatedly complained about physical complaints, which also hindered him in the semi-final defeat against the eventual tournament winner Novak Djokovic (Serbia).
