Roger Federer injury and knee surgery

Roger Federer was suffering from an injury on his right knee and he underwent surgery for the same in February 2020. He then underwent another knee surgery in June and ended his 2020 season.

Federer's desire to return to tour with the Australian Open in 2021 had to, unfortunately, be pushed aside as he simply didn't have enough time for recovery. The Swiss star made a comeback at the 2021 French Open, followed by a quarter-final run at Wimbledon Championships.

Post Wimbledon, Federer found the need to have yet another knee surgery and pulled out of the rest of the ATP tour.

Owing to the knee injury Federer faced after Wimbledon 2021 and the subsequent surgery, he had to be away from the sport for a significant amount of time. Also, the Swiss star mentioned that he went under the knife in order to lead a normal life with his family post-retirement.

With his recovery currently in progress, Federer couldn't play the 2022 Australian Open.

If Federer's recovery goes as per schedule, he might be able to make it to the grass-court season of the 2022 ATP tour. However, the 20-time major champion revealed in an interview that it would be a big surprise if he makes it to Wimbledon this year.

Going by Federer's comments, his appearance at Wimbledon is a big question, and it only goes on to shed light on the difficulty of recovering from a surgery at the age of 40.

Roger Federer Wife (Age, Networth, Nationality)

Federer's wife is Miroslava Vavrinec, known as Mirka. The couple met each other for the first time during 2000 Sydney Olympics. After dating each other for nine years, they got married at Wenkenhof Villa in Basel.

Mirka was born in erstwhile Czechoslovakia. Her family migrated to Switzerland when she was 2 years old. Having met the legendary Martina Navratilova at a young age, Mirka's fascination turned to tennis.

Mirka turned pro in 1998. However, her tennis career was short-lived due to a foot injury that continued to haunt her during matches.

By the end of her career, Mirka's earnings on the pro tour were calculated to be around $262,000.

Myla and Charlene began to follow Federer for his matches across the professional tour. They were present in the player box and witnessed their father clinch various titles.

Coming to Lenny and Leo, their first tennis appearance came at the 2017 Wimbledon Championships, where Federer won his 19th Grand Slam title. After defeating Marin Cilic in straight sets, Federer sat on his chair and got emotional looking at his four children.

Why did Roger Federer pull out of French Open 2021

The 2021 French Open garnered huge attention as it marked the comeback of Federer in a major tournament, for the first time since the 2020 Australian Open. The Swiss Maestro lived up to the expectations by playing pitch-perfect tennis and reached the fourth round, where he was due to play Matteo Berrettini.

But Federer's match against Dominik Koepfer in the third round took a toll on the Swiss' body as he couldn't recover completely after being on court for more than 3.5 hours.

As a result, Federer pulled out of his pre-quarters match and ended his French Open run.

Roger Federer retirement

Ever since his short-stinted 2021 run, more questions were asked of Federer about his future. The Swiss Maestro remained honest and revealed that the end is near. After the third knee surgery in the latter half of 2021, Roger wanted to see if he could compete with the best for one last time before calling it quits.

One could assume that the end is quite near for Roger Federer's stint as a tennis player and more details concerning the same will be understood by the end of 2022 season.
