Roger Federer actually didn’t want to travel to Boston for the Laver Cup. In an interview with the former world-class tennis player Jim Courier, the Swiss maestro said on the sidelines of the cup: “I wasn’t sure if I could make it with the crutches”, but then he was received so well that the long journey was worth it was still worth it, even if the matter ended clearly 14: 1 for the Europeans.

Former US top player Jim Courier interviewed Federer on the sidelines of the tournament and asked him about his knee surgery. Federer:

“It was a tough decision to do this additional knee surgery. I was just unhappy with the way things went at Wimbledon. I wasn’t nearly in the shape I wanted to be – I was so far from my top level. “

Now, of course, Courier wanted to know when Federer would be back on the tennis court. «I don’t want to rush anything. I take everything step by step, ”said Federer. First he wanted to be able to walk normally, then run and then move sideways again. If that was all right, he could go back to tennis. And further:

“It will be a few months before I can play tennis again. Now the worst is behind me, I’m really happy. “

Next year the Cup will take place in London. Then Federer wants to be back at the start. And in the end he even reveals to Courier that he could imagine leading Team Europe as captain.
