Two months into his 40th birthday, this may be the last time we see Roger Federer at Roland Garros. The Swiss withdrew despite his victory on Saturday against Dominik Koepfer (7-6, 6-7, 7-6, 7-5) in 3:35. Despite everything, Fédérer leaves the court and will therefore not play his round of 16 against Matteo Berretini, scheduled for Monday.
«After talking to my team, I decided that I should withdraw from the Roland-Garros tournament today (Sunday). After two knee operations and over a year of rehabilitation, it is important that I listen to my body. And that I do not go too quickly in the return to competition. I am delighted to have won three matches. There is no better feeling than to be back on the pitch ”, confides the world n ° 8, in a press release.
This is the fifth time in his career, the first in Major, that Federer has withdrawn during the tournament. After Bercy in 2008, Doha in 2012, the Masters in 2014 and Rome in 2019.
