Once the leading player on the tour, Roger Federer has been struggling with injuries for more than two years now. Despite wanting to perform, the knee of the Swiss has acted as a major hindrance during the latter years of his career.

The former World No.1 underwent two knee surgeries during the pandemic in 2020. Making a slight comeback to the game in 2021, he was again forced to undergo a third surgery on his knee in August last year. Currently, in rehab, the Swiss maestro is expected to make a comeback later this year.
