By Web Desk — One of the tennis legends, Roger Federer who is keen to return to the game yet again, says it will be known to him by “April-May” whether or not he will be able to play.
Winner of 20 Grand-Slam titles, Federer, 40, has been out of the tennis court since a Wimbledon quarter-final exit at the hands of Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz in July last year before having to undergo knee surgery.
The Swiss star told media: “I want to come back strong and give it everything that I have.” “To give you a little bit of an update. I have a very interesting and important next few months ahead of me. I think I will know a lot more by April-May,” Federer added.
The Swiss legend played just 13 matches in 2021. He also underwent two knee surgeries in 2020 when he played only six times.
His absence has taken the former world number one to 30 in the rankings.
Federer has hailed his friend and rival Rafael Nadal who captured a record-setting 21st Grand Slam title at the Australian Open last weekend.
“The drive is still there. I am motivated to do my work.”
