"Give everything to come back, it's also my way of thanking my fans"
Even if he will not play in competition again before the summer of 2022, Roger Federer announces that he wants to return. "For a little ride or something bigger."
The truth is that I would be incredibly surprised to play Wimbledon (editor's note in July) ; as much to say that Australia does not even come into play. And that is not a surprise. We knew before the operation that its nature would require long months of break. So there is nothing new. I wanted to wait for the doctors' first major check-up to talk about it: it is very encouraging. So I started a long process of rehabilitation in which I put all my heart. But that's the way it is, the situation has nothing to do with 2016. You have to be patient to give my knee time to recover 100%.
Monday evening, Roger Federer believed in two things: the qualification of (a soccer team) and his ability to come back to the circuit "for a little lap or bigger things"
Injury: "Exams after grass season revealed my right inner meniscus was injured. It had to be stitched, which required immobilization, and they took the opportunity to treat my cartilage as well"
Timetable: Docs say I will be able to job lightly inJanuary and gradually return to the court. March or April start training again in a tennis-like way"
?What kind of image will people remember of me? My last set at Wimbledon last July? Or my Grand Slam titles and what it triggered in them when they watched me play? My money is on the latter. For a few years now, I've been pretty relaxed about that.?
?But I understand the fans' feelings. It would be easy for me to say, "I've given a lot and received a lot. Let's stop here." But me investing everything to come back is also my way of saying thank you. My fans deserve better than the image of my last grass season.
My world will not collapse if I never play in another Grand Slam final. But it is my ultimate dream to return once again. And in fact, I still believe in it. I believe in these kinds of miracles. I have already experienced them.?
