- World No 3 pulls out of a series of tournaments
- ‘Doctors are very confident of a full recovery’
Roger Federer’s announcement that minor surgery on his right knee will sideline him until Wimbledon at the end of June shook the tennis community on Thursday.
After reluctantly having an operation to repair freak damage to his left knee caused when running a bath for one of his children in Melbourne in 2016, he is left with two knees that have been operated on. He returned from his first ordeal – and seven months out – to win the Australian Open in 2017, one of the great sporting comebacks. There are no such assurances he can do anything like that again.
