Yes he’s missing a part of the season, but this surgery was done to PROLONG his career.
He could have carried on with it like he has done & got to the point where even surgery wouldn’t have sorted it.
We’ll miss him, but he’ll be back 👊🏻
Fact of the Day of February 20: Last time Roger Federer came back from an injury related break, he won a Grand Slam Title.

I became his fan in 2001. I was 9 then.

He played through my teenage, he played when I became an adult, he played during my graduation, my university years and he's still active when I'm now a working woman.
It is more than I could ever wish for 🙏
