“Roger is doing well. Rehabilitation has gone according to plan after the 2nd surgery. No big intensity until now, he will start a physical fitness block with Pierre Paganini shortly,” Seve Luthi told SRF Sport.

“First priority is that Roger gets 100% healthy again, nice thing is that with Roger you still get the feeling you’re on the court with a junior and not with a player who’s rather at the end of his career, those are perfect conditions we’re focused on next season.”

“Roughly three hours After Wimbledon Final 2019 we went to Roger’s rented house, there were approximately 30 people gathered, you wouldn’t have guessed that he just lost such an important match, he has an unbelievable ability to look forward in a positive way,” Luthi said.

With Roger calling off his season, and tennis tour resuming in mid-August, he will be dropping some ATP points. Consequently, 20-time Grand Slam champion Federer is expected to exit from the top-five rankings on the ATP roster by the end of 2020.
