After the Wimbledon Championships, he revealed that he would be requiring another knee surgery, which would keep him out of action for many months. He recently revealed that the Australian Open is not an option for him in the coming season. The 8-time champion also cast doubts if he would be able to be fit in time to make it at the All England Club.
At the moment, we wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see him come back to competing against the top players in the game again. All eyes will be on the former World No. 1 player when he decides to step on the court.
