Roger’s 2021 till now

Roger Federer has had a silent season this year. With injury issues and lack of form, the Swiss star has only managed nine wins this year. He enjoys a 9-4 win-loss record this year in five tournaments. However, none of them have been title worthy, and he has not been up to his mark either.

Federer did reach the quarterfinals of the Wimbledon Championships in July, but he failed to go all the way. He also withdrew from the Olympic Games in Tokyo this summer on account of injuries. He will hopefully return on court for the US Open later this month.
