When the Basel-born player returned to Tour after a year’s absence, he struggled with his performances. At the French Open, he withdrew before his fourth-round match because he lacked match fitness. Later at the Wimbledon Championships, he lost in the quarterfinal in an unusual manner, which did raise eyebrows.
Due to his latest decision, he will be missed at the US Open this year. In the previous season, he missed the US Open too on similar grounds. In recent years, Federer has not managed to win the US Open. However, he is the most successful player in the current era, winning the title five times from 2004-2008.
