Elongates timeline for return

Knee

November 17, 2021

Federer (knee) won't be able to resume training until March or April, Simon Graf of Tages Anzeiger reports.

ANALYSIS
This update means that the 40-year-old won't be playing the Australian Open, which begins in January, and now Wimbledon in early July is also seeming unlikely since his doctors have told him that light jogging won't be possible until January. Nevertheless, Wimbledon will still be the next benchmark date on the calendar for his hopeful return as he continues to recover from lingering right knee issues that have already required three surgeries.
