Roger Federer, 40, has admitted that he does not want to “abuse” his body and that he will withdraw as soon as he feels he should. Federer, a 20-time Grand Slam champion, underwent two major knee surgeries in 2020 but returned last March.
Unfortunately for Federer, his comeback was short-lived as he announced a third knee operation in August. “Like any athlete, you simply know when the right time has come.
I won’t be someone who just stays that way because I want to stay here … fans mean a lot to me, but I don’t want to abuse my body. I still want to run around and ski with my kids, ”said Federer, the old GQ.
Federer is not happy with how Wimbledon went
Federer reached the quarterfinals of Wimbledon before losing in straight sets to Hubert Hurkacz. After Wimbledon, Federer took a break before finally opting for another knee operation.
“It was a tough process to make that decision just because I already had a few knee operations last year,” Federer told American former world number one Jim Courier in an interview at the Laver Cup on Saturday.
“I was really unhappy with how things were going at Wimbledon. I just wasn’t nearly where I wanted to be to play at the highest level. But I’ve done my best and at some point it’s too much too much.
Now I just have to take it step by step. “Federer loves spending time with his family and wants to stay healthy so that he can do activities that he would like to do with his family.
“That’s for my life too. I want to make sure I can do whatever I want later. There’s no rush with anything, so I’m actually in a really good place. I think the worst is behind me. Me am really happy, “said Federer.
