After nearly two months of being confined to their homes due to the novel coronavirus, professional tennis players are finally able to return to practice in most parts of the world. However, unlike his fellow professionals, Roger Federer has still not hit the practice courts.
Federer had already decided to take a break to undergo knee surgery before the coronavirus shutdown. Consequently, the Swiss maestro has not played tennis since his semifinal defeat against Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open 2020 in January.

There is no stress for Roger Federer to practice
The 20-time Grand Slam champion has now recovered from his injury and is fit to start training again. However, his coach Severin Luthi believes that his pupil does not need to worry about hitting the balls. Luthi is confident that Federer will be ready to compete once the tour resumes.
“We try to stay in touch, see if there is some news and I think for him it’s not necessary for him to be worried about hitting balls too much. You saw maybe on social media, he was hitting balls against the wall with the volleying challenge. He does that for fun. It’s not necessary to really hit for him,” Severin Luthi told Tennis Channel.
