For fans who are awaiting the comeback of Swiss Maestro Roger Federer, unfortunately, the early signs are indicating that it might not be as successful as the historic run he had during the 2017 ATP season. Federer will be entering the courts after performing a third knee surgery, which he revealed after the quarter-final loss to Hubert Hurkacz at Wimbledon.

The Swiss Maestro might have himself accepted that he might not make it big again on tour anymore, but die-hard fans still believe that Federer can’t be written off.

Robert Federer makes an honest prediction on Roger’s comeback

But, the rise in competitive form of next-gen talents and the fearlessness with which they approach big matches might be troublesome for the Swiss. So far, Federer revealed that he will be surprised if he makes it to Wimbledon next year.

However, a better idea over Federer’s fitness will be revealed during the months of April and May when the Swiss star hits practice courts. During the time off-court, the former World No.1 is spending quality time with family at home.

When Roger’s father Robert Federer was recently asked about his son’s comeback, he delivered a practical answer.

It might sound a bit harsh coming from Robert, but it’s the reality that a lot of Federer fans have already accepted. Even the Swiss Maestro revealed recently in an interview that it doesn’t matter if he won’t win another title in his comeback.

“Let’s be clear, my life is not going to fall apart if I don’t play another Grand Slam final. But that would be ultimate dream to get back there. I want to see one last time what I’m capable of as a professional tennis player,” Federer told Tribune de Geneve daily.
