Roger Federer has enthralled tennis fans throughout his glittering career. He may be past his peak, but the tennis fraternity still wishes to see the Swiss legend back on the court. Moreover, his attacking forehands and single-handed backhands are widely missed on the circuit. The former World Number 1 has won numerous laurels and titles in a career spanning more than twenty years now.

However, the 40-year-old has been suffering from injuries off-late. His last match was at Wimbledon in June last year. Subsequently, he has been troubled by a knee injury that forced him to miss the latter half of the previous season. Recently, Andrea Gaudenzi, the current chairman of the Association of Tennis Professionals, has opened up on Federer’s comeback and the post ‘Big Three’ era in tennis.

The Italian admitted that the men’s circuit must adapt for the post ‘Big Three’ era. Further, he spoke on Federer’s situation. He said, “Roger is over 40 years old. Every match he plays from now on will be a gift for us. We obviously can’t wait for him to be on tour again, but he is taking his time after the operations he has undergone. We fingers crossed.”

Moreover, Gaudenzi said that the ATP circuit must take advantage of each presence of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic. In particular the Swiss because the end of his career seems very close.

Further, Federer’s long absence from the tour has severely affected his ranking. He has dropped to Number 30 on the ATP rankings chart. He will be racing against time to get back in good physical shape for Wimbledon this year. Can the Swiss maestro taste success later this season? Let us know your views in the comments below.
