Talking about his partnership with On, Federer remarked: “It’s been a wonderful relationship so far, its great to be a partner with On. The timing is quite ideal for both of us, and I am really enjoying the process so far.”
After the 2020 Australian Open, Federer was sidelined because of a right knee injury and ultimately announced that he would pull out of the rest of the season. With his Grand Slam record already in threat, the 2021 season poses a tremendous challenge for Federer, who is already in the twilight of his career.
