Roger Federer I’m to Miss Australian Open and All but Rules Out Wimbledon (Published 2021)
Recovering from his fourth knee operation, Federer, at 40, has no illusions about winning a 21st major title. He wants to return for different reasons.
It was far from reassuring for all those eager to see him return to the tour.
In an interview that appeared in French in a Swiss newspaper, La Tribune de Genève, Federer, 40, ruled out playing in next year’s Australian Open, which is set to begin on Jan. 17 and is the first Grand Slam tournament of the season.
More unexpectedly, he also all but ruled out Wimbledon, which begins in late June.
“The truth is that I would be incredibly surprised to play Wimbledon,” he said.
