Roger Federer has been making the headlines recently. The Swiss maestro has been out of action for quite a long time now. To be precise, he played his last competitive match at The Championships, Wimbledon in July, last year. Subsequently, he underwent a third knee surgery which has kept him away from tennis for more than three-quarters of a year.

Recently, Federer has been providing some positive updates about his injury status. Earlier this week, he took to Instagram, saying, “Rehab is rockinggggggg,” while posting a picture of his rehabilitation session. This has come as great news for Federer’s fans, who have been waiting to see the Swiss legend on the tennis court for quite a long time now. Recently, he shared another positive glimpse ahead of his potential return to the sport.

Talking about his surgery, Federer said, “I want to be healthy. I want to be running around later, as well, again, and I want to give myself a glimmer of hope, also, to return to the tour in some shape or form. I am realistic, don’t get me wrong, I know how difficult it is at this age right now to do another surgery and try it.” 

Earlier this year, Federer had announced his comeback at the Laver Cup in September. However, with his rehabilitation process going well, a return during Wimbledon cannot be ruled out. However, having said that, he has withdrawn from Roland Garros this year.
