The tournament eight is worried about overloading the problematic knee. In Monday’s match, the ninth seed Matteo Berrettini from Italy is waiting for him.
Thirty-nine-year-old Federer completed two operations last year and has performed in only three tournaments since the Australian Open 2020, including this year’s Roland Garros. “I don’t know if I’m going to play in the round of 16. I have to decide if it’s not too risky and I’m not going to put too much strain on my knee. I have to ask myself if it wouldn’t be better to relax,” AFP quoted the 20-time Grand Slam winner as saying that his priority at Wimbledon was not a priority.
“Overall, the match with Koepfer was strange in several ways. I played a night duel for the first time in Paris and there were no spectators there. I haven’t experienced that feeling in years. But I imagined people at home watching TV this match and trying to draw of them energy at least at a distance, “ he is quoted on the official ATP Tour website.
As early as June 14, the owner of 103 titles at the main pro stage should present himself at a popular tournament in Halle, Germany, and if he still won a few matches in Paris, he would have virtually no time to prepare for the grass. “I won’t have a week off between Roland Garros and Halle as usual. I have to consider what would be best in preparation for Wimbledon. If I had to go to the fifth set against Koepfer, I don’t know what condition I would wake up to the next day. “Nothing is the same as it used to be, I have to be careful in every match,” analyzed by a long-standing world unit and currently eight ATP renaming.
If Federer beats Italian Matteo Berrettini in the round of 16, his next opponent will be Serb Novak Djokovic. However, the world unit must first go through 19-year-old Italian Lorenzo Musetti. However, Federer’s stellar confrontation with Djokovic may not occur at all, as the Swiss have rabbit intentions. “I would like to be in the shoes of Djokovic and Nadal. They can say that they play well, win and are fine. I definitely don’t feel that way today. I still feel like I’m just going back to the courts and playing after a long break. Roland Garros, too, is just a step on the road to something bigger. “ dodal Federer.
