However, there’s a dark cloud floating over Federer’s head, as he has a slight concern regarding his knee injury. Last year, he went through surgery on his knee and he has not played since then, missing more than a year on the tour. He announced his return this month at the Laver Cup, where he can evaluate his current fitness and knee injury.
