Most of his 2020 season was spent in recovering from double knee surgeries. The last match he has played was at the Wimbledon last year, where he lost to Hubert Hurkacz in the Quarterfinals, breaking Ken Rosewall’s record of being the oldest athlete to reach a quarterfinal. But at the tournament, he suffered a setback and has been off the circuit since then.

The 20-time Grand Slam champion has said that he will miss both the clay and the grass season this year. But, fans are hoping to see Federer back on the court soon.
