Roger Federer recently suffered a shocking defeat in the quarters of the Qatar Open 2021. However, fans witnessed the Swiss maestro in action after almost 13 months, and that by itself was an incredible experience. Even though Federer couldn’t go into the semis of the tournament, he showed great skill that proves that he still has a lot of tennis left in him.
In the post-match press conference, Federer said something that made tennis fans quite happy. He said that he wanted Juan Martin del Potro to return to the court very soon. Previously, del Potro had also claimed that he wanted Federer to make a comeback as soon as possible.
“I’m happy he said that. I did not hear that (del Potro’s statement), obviously he wanted Juan Martín to return to the circuit as I did now,” said Federer in the press conference.

“Has to be very intelligent about his return”- Roger Federer on Juan Martin del Potro
Federer believes that del Potro’s injury is bigger and more serious than the one he himself suffered. Thus, he explained that it would take him much more time to heal. He also highlighted that the Argentine player would have to be intelligent about his return to the court.
“I know it will take a while, because everything he went through is bigger than what I went through. He has to be very intelligent about his return to the circuit, when he does it and how he does it,” concluded Federer.
