Tennis icon Roger Federer has plotted his long-awaited comeback to action later this year, with the Laver Cup first up ahead of his ATP Tour return at the Swiss Indoors in October.
Speculation began to mount suggesting that Federer could retire following his battle with injuries that have plagued him for the last few years. The 20-time Grand Slam champion has been sidelined since coming up short in the Wimbledon quarter-finals in July 2021, and the Swiss star announced the following month he had undergone knee surgery that ended his season prematurely.
Last November, Federer conceded he would be ‘extremely surprised’ if he returned to Wimbledon in 2022 to try and win a record ninth men’s singles title. It now appears certain the 40-year-old will miss out on tournament but he could still come to the United Kingdom to play in the fifth edition of the Laver Cup.
