The legendary Roger Federer has been having a rough time the past couple of seasons. The Tennis ace has been forced to undergo two knee surgeries, which have kept him on the sidelines for a lengthy duration. He recently revealed on social media that he would soon be undergoing a third surgery on his knee.

Recently, James Blake spoke on Roger Federer and his recent injury. Going by history, the former American player feels that the Swiss ace will bounce back to winning ways. Whenever James felt he was doing really good in tennis, he was always proven wrong when he came up against the 20-time champion. 

The 41-year-old spoke on this and stated, “Every time I thought I had the best of anything in tennis, I think Roger Federer just found a way to outdo me. So I suspect he will come back from his knee surgery with a better laugh and put me in my place.”

Reflecting on Federer’s season, he began competing in Doha but lost in the initial rounds. After that, he competed in Geneva but crashed in the opening round. In Paris, he came to the fourth round of Roland Garros but withdrew due to lack of match practice. 

However, the biggest disappointment for Federer was at the Wimbledon Championships this year when he lost in the quarterfinal. He has not been in action since then. 

Roger has decided to opt for another knee surgery and added that he would be away from the courts for many months. In fact, he will be on crutches for the initial weeks after his surgery. We wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see him on the courts soon.
