Roger Federer’s 2020 season is over.
The 38-year-old has undergone a “procedure” on his right knee after another setback in his recovery.
Federer went under the knife on the same knee after the Australian Open and had hoped to return in time for the U-S Open.
The 20-time Slam winner says he’s looking forward to getting back on the court in 2021 and has vowed to put his latest injury setback behind him, saying he’ll return to the court next year.
“I plan to take the necessary time to be 100% ready to play at my highest level. I will be missing my fans and the tour dearly but I will look forward to seeing everyone back on tour at the start of the 2021 season.”
The 38-year-old recovered from a similar knee injury in 2016, returning to win two grand slams
