Fans were made to wait long to get a glimpse of their favorite player on tour. However, with the latest developments, that wait is going to be further extended.
The 20-time grand slam winner has decided to skip the 2021 Australian Open. Most of the tennis fraternity was eager to see how Roger performs after his long spell away from the tennis courts.

“Should we fear the lack of matches? I do not believe it. Let’s not forget that we are coming out of a strange year, with very few tournaments. There will be an added mini ATP Cup and an Australian Open. At the start of the 2021 season, Roger will therefore only be one or two tournaments behind the others.”

The former grand slam doubles winner also predicted as to when Federer would make his much-awaited return. He stated, “I can see him coming back to Rotterdam (most certainly from March 1 to 7). This is where he went to seek the place of world No. 1 in 2017, there are good memories. I think he will favor places with which he has a common history.”
As Roger inches closer to becoming a 40-year-old, one can only think of him having a final hurray in the game. He holds Wimbledon as one of his most loved tournaments. It would be a fairytale story if he can lift his 9th title in London.
