The 39-year-old reached the semi-finals in Melbourne in early 2020 but missed the rest of the season due to his knee problems.
- I am gradually on my way back but I will not hurry and I do not want to put any pressure on myself.
I will only line up and compete if I am in 100% shape, says the 20-time Grand Slam champion.
- Right now it looks like I can make my comeback in the Australian Open in January.
Although the Swiss is making progress in rehabilitation, he is not yet able to train fully.
- Not yet.
More than two hours with the racket is not possible as it is now.
But I have worked with my strength and I have not experienced any pain for a while.
I will not undergo any more surgeries.
says Federer, who last week in Paris saw Rafael Nadal break the record for 20 Grand Slam wins.
To stop playing tennis, Federer does not want to talk about.
When asked about possible retirement, he only says that he will play as long as he thinks it's fun.
