Roger Federer says he is “definitely” going to return to tennis following a long-term injury
Former world-number-one, Roger Federer has locked in playing at the top-level of tennis next year.
Federer will turn 41 this August but says he will compete in the Laver Cup in London, and at his home tournament in Basel.
The 20-time grand slam champion has not played since July last year, when he lost in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon.
But he says his focus is on being able to train fully, before he decides “where and when” he will play in 2023.
He also congratulated his long-time rival, and friend Rafael Nadal, who recently won a record 14th title at Rolland Garros.
“I was happy for him that he did it again. Hats off to Rafa. After the 10th, 11th time, I already thought, ‘This can’t be’. He keeps raising the bar. It’s gigantic,” Federer says.
