42-Year-Old Roger Federer’s ‘Sad’ Physical Condition Leaves Fans Immensely Worried As They Rule Out the Only Comeback Hope

2022 was a heartbreaking year for tennis fans. It saw the retirement of two of tennis’ biggest stars, Serena Williams and Roger Federer. The latter especially was hoping to make a comeback at Wimbledon but couldn’t do so. He played at the Laver Cup and subsequently called time on his illustrious career. Nonetheless, fans have been hoping to see Federer in action again, albeit in exhibition matches. However, their hopes of watching the Swiss maestro play again have dashed as a concerning video of the 42-year-old went viral on social media.

During the latter stages of his career, the 20-time Grand Slam champion has been struggling with his knee. It is the very reason that kept him away from tennis for months. Recently, fans reacted as signs of the issue became apparent yet again.

What did fans say about Roger Federer limping?

Earlier this week, Federer attended an event for On, the Swiss company in which he has invested. During the event, the Swiss maestro was seen limping, which left fans worried on social media. As the video went viral on Twitter, fans reacted about the possible end of hopes of watching Federer play tennis again.

One of the fans said, “Man, Roger has a very noticeable limp, sad to see that.”

Another fan was left very worried and said, “Oh lord that knee is not ok.”

One of the Twitter users gave a harsh reality check. They mentioned, “Unfortunately looking at his knee doesn’t give much hope that we will ever get to see him playing an exho again.”

Further, another Twitter user highlighted the apparent issue in Federer’s knee. They commented, “The stiffness in that knee,” with a crying emoji.

However, one user was adamantly hopeful, as they continued rooting for the Swiss maestro, “#goRoger!”

Despite his saddening retirement, Federer does have something to cheer about. Turns out, he has once again triumphed over his rival, Novak Djokovic. But this time, it is off the court. What exactly did he do?

Federer leaves Djokovic way behind

In the recently released Forbes list of the highest-paid tennis players, the Swiss legend triumphed over Djokovic despite being away from the sport. Federer amassed $95 million while Djokovic managed to earn less than half of it, at $38.4 million. The 42-year-old has kept his business ventures growing, which is the result of his massive fortune even after his retirement.

While fans will want to see Federer in action again, his recent video gives likely signs that he might not be able to return to the court ever again. This is a disappointing sign, not just for his fans but also for people fond of the sport in general.
