Roger Federer stepped out of the circuit to seek a permanent remedy for his knee injury. The 20-time Grand Slam champion underwent surgery after failing to enter the final four of Wimbledon last year. He hasn’t taken part in any tournament since then.
However, Federer still has determination despite many considering him to be past his best at this point in his magnificent career. Though no one can deny the fact that the 40-year-old doesn’t have decades left to play on the tour. Therefore, now the Swiss fans are building hopes from the youngster Dominic Stricker to represent the nation in a similar fashion as Federer.
