Roger Federer announced Sunday, in a video posted on Instagram, that he was going to have a knee operation, which will lead to "many months of absence" and leaves the hypothesis of an end of career hovering.

"To feel better, I need to be operated", which implies an absence for "many months", said the Swiss (40), who has not played since Wimbledon, notably missed the Tokyo Olympics and therefore forfeit the US Open.
