- 12 Comments
Roger Federer officially ended his 2020 season, assuming there even is a finish. The Swiss who underwent right knee surgery in February, announced that he had a second procedure on that knee which will keep him off the tour for the remained of 2020.
“A few weeks ago, having experienced a setback during my initial rehabilitation, I had to have an additional quick arthroscopic procedure on my right knee,” Federer posted on social media. “Now, much like I did leading up to the 2017 season, I plan to take the necessary time to be 100% ready to play at my highest level.
“I will be missing my fans the tour dearly but, I will look forward to seeing everyone back on tour at the start of the 2021 season.”
