20-20, ball in the center.

While Rafael Nadal has just joined him at the top of the ranking of the most successful players in the Grand Slam, Roger Federer intends to return to Melbourne in early 2021 to play the Australian Open there.

But the Swiss, who has had two surgeries on his right knee this year, does not intend to rush his return to the altar of his rivalry with Nadal.

“I am on the right track,” Roger Federer told Swiss weekly 

.

I'm coming back gradually, but I'm going to take my time and I don't want to put pressure on myself.

I will not participate in a tournament until I am 100% fit.

For now, it looks like I can make my return to the Australian Open in January.

More operations

But there is still a long way to go, according to RodGER, still limited in the practice of his sport.

“More than two hours with the racket is not possible at the moment.

But I've been working on my stamina and strength absolutely painlessly for a while.

There will be no more operations.
