Failure of Roger FedererAttending Tokyo 2020 panicked many fans. The Swiss had opened up to this opportunity after being eliminated in the Wimbledon quarter-finals, trying to rest after the knee surgery after a complicated season with very few games.
However, there is one aspect of the Swissman’s official announcement that is unsettling for fans and fans and points to his far from perfect physical condition. These are Roger’s words: “Unfortunately, during the lawn season, I suffered a setback with my knee and accepted that I had to withdraw from the Tokyo Olympics.
I am very disappointed because every time I have represented Switzerland it has been an honor and a highlight of my career. I’ve already started rehabilitation hoping to get back on the tour later this summer.
I wish the entire Swiss team the best of luck and I will be cheering them on from afar. As always, Hopp Schwiz! ”
Roger Federer: “This is what a normal day in Switzerland looks like”
Federer will cheer on his teammates from Switzerland.
Speaking of Switzerland: the Swiss maestro told us what a typical day in his country looks like. He said: “No two days are the same, that is clear. We are spontaneous and do what other families do. Fortunately, it’s easy in Switzerland!
For example, I went to the forest with my children and to the park the day before. Or we go to the playground. It is important to me that we are outside and in nature a lot and also enjoy the peace and quiet. “
Before retiring from the Olympics, Federer also skipped the Australian Open at the beginning of the season, in which he had always participated since the year of his first appearance, is returning to the ATP 250 in Doha after a 14-month break.
He won the debut game against Brit Evans in three sets, but lost in the quarterfinals to Georgian Basilashvili after missing a match point. In the spring, after the brief appearance at the ATP Geneva, where he was eliminated on his debut, he returns to a Grand Slam.
At Roland Garros he was assigned the eighth place to start, he eliminated Istomin in three sets and Cilic and Koepfer in four sets and got access to the round of 16 against Berrettini, from which he was eliminated, however, so as not to tire his knee too much after the long stop to be able to perform better on grass. But, as we all know, things also went badly in Halle and Wimbledon. Then came the withdrawal from Tokyo.
