Lenzerheide – Tennis superstar Roger Federer continues to make health progress and hopes for a comeback this summer.
“You can see I can move normally again. I still have to wait a bit with running. I hope I can increase that more and more over the next few months and hopefully I can make a comeback in the middle, end of the year,” the 40-year-old Swiss told ZDF. Federer watched the alpine ski race in Lenzerheide, close to his home, and described himself as a “huge ski fan”.
The long-time world number one had undergone surgery on his right knee for the third time in August. The last time he was on court for a match was the quarter-final exit at Wimbledon in July 2021. “It’s been a difficult time the last few months. I was on crutches for two months, now I’m back on my feet,” Federer said, describing his health. The tennis pro has won 20 Grand Slam tournaments. The statistics are now led by Spain’s Rafael Nadal, who captured title number 21 at the Australian Open in Melbourne.
