“This is not the way to move on . The doctors advised me a new surgery and I have decided to do it. I will have to operate again and I will be on crutches for many weeks. I will try to come back as strong as possible. ”
Federer will also miss the US Open. His intention is to fully recover and return in optimal competitive conditions. So far this year he has only played thirteen games of which he has lost four. The new passage through the operating room leaves in the air the future of the former number one in the world who already assumes that he will not return to the circuit for several months.
