Federer competed at the French Open and made it to the second week only to withdraw before his fourth-round match. He withdrew because the matches were getting intense and he was playing at the highest level without much match practice.
Roger had a disappointing result at the Wimbledon Championship, losing in the quarterfinal. He has decided to end his season and undergo another knee surgery. We hope to see him compete on the Tour once again.
