Roger Federer will not play tennis again until the end of next June . This was announced on Thursday morning by the ATP through a statement. The Swiss, number 3 in the world, underwent an arthroscopy on his right knee on Wednesday because of discomfort that had been dragging for several weeks.
The Swiss cannot, therefore, be in the Dubai tournament, the next scheduled date. But the most serious thing is that recovery will prevent him from playing Roland Garros . In this way Rafa Nadal could, if he wins in Paris, match the Swiss at the head of the wonderful race between them and Djokovic for being the tennis player who has won the most Grand Slam in history. Right now Federer is 20, by 19 of Nadal and 17 of Serbian.
Along the way there will also be tournaments such as Indian Wells, Miami and the entire land season prior to the Paris tournament. "My right knee has been bothering me for a while. I can't wait to play again. See you on the grass," he told ATP Federer, who plans to reappear, then, in a tournament before Wimbledon. Queen's, for example, begins June 15.
