Federer to miss the Australian Open 2022
The six-time Australian Open champion, Federer, will sadly miss the upcoming Australian Open 2022. Just a few weeks ago, Federer confirmed this news, as he’s still not fully recovered from his knee injury. The Maestro last competed on the ATP Tour at Wimbledon 2021. Federer lost against Hubert Hurkacz in the quarter-finals of the competition.
Tennis fans will have to wait a long time for his return as the Maestro is doubtful about his involvement even at Wimbledon 2022.
