“The Worst Is Behind Me”: Roger Federer Sends Positive News for Tennis Fans Ahead of His Return

Amidst all the speculation about his retirement, Roger Federer has shared positive news for his fans. The last few years for Federer have been plagued by a recurring knee problem. He returned to the tour in 2021 and performed well at the French Open and Wimbledon before the same issue made him end his season.

Now, the Maestro has shared that he plans to continue playing to the best of his abilities for as long as he can.

“The worst is behind me, I’m looking forward to everything that comes,” said Roger Federer at a sponsorship meeting. After the quarter-finals at Wimbledon, a third knee operation was necessary. “When you come back after an injury, every day is a better day. An exciting time. I went through that last year, it’s not a mental problem,” said Federer.

The Classy Roger Federer

The tennis world is united in appreciating whatever time is left for us to see Roger play. The 40-year-old is an icon and has one of the biggest fan followings in the sport. He has been the inspiration of thousands of young tennis players who have tried to emulate his abilities on the court. 

Federer has been playing professionally for decades now. The man is known for his calm on the court and his class is unmatched by any other.

Federer has 20 Grand Slams to his name, tied with Nadal and Djokovic, the other two of the acclaimed ‘Big 3’. While he has promised a comeback to the courts soon, it remains to be seen if his fitness will allow him to challenge for the biggest prizes. The competition certainly won’t be straightforward with lots of talented professionals on the ATP Tour at the moment. Let’s hope we catch a glimpse of the legend as soon as possible.
