The countdown to see again Roger Federer playing a tennis match is nearing its climax. The tennis player confirmed his participation in the ATP in Doha, where he will make his presentation on March 8, but his physical trainer decided to put cold cloths on him and warned about the sequels with which the Swiss will have to live in this return. His 40th birthday will be next August.
In February and July 2020, he underwent two arthroscopic surgeries on his right knee. It is not the first time that the current number five in the ranking suffers discomfort in this area, in 2016 he was absent for much of the season because of it. “He took a break that time after Wimbledon, but his muscles were always there. Now he had a total rupture and the muscles deteriorated considerably “explained his physical trainer, Pierre Paganini in dialogue with the Swiss newspaper Daily indicator.
“His right knee caused him various problems over the years. You could get them under control with adapted planning and specific exercises. He and the whole team were working on this. But Roger always sees things in a positive light. And as long as you can play and train freely, this won’t be a problem.. There came a time when he decided to have surgery, he assumed that responsibility”He continued.
About the tennis player’s second operation, the coach assured that the recovery was slower and needed more time, only being able to return to training in October. In addition, he insisted that today he is ready to return to the ring, but he will have to adapt to the matches again. The historic athlete will turn 40 in August this year, which does not seem to bring him closer to retirement.
