Federer at Wimbledon? Luthi: “I don’t see how he can do it”

“I don’t see how Federer can play at Wimbledon this year.” If it is one of the closest people to Roger who says it – the captain of the Swiss national team, Severin Luthi – it is to be trusted. Also because he dominates the caution around the conditions of the current number 27 in the world, absent from the fields from the thunderous defeat in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon 2021 against Hubi Hurkacz (6-3 7-6 6-0). Federer is struggling with rehabilitation after his third right knee surgery in a year and a half, after two in 2020.

Luthi spoke to the newspaper Tages Anzeiger: “Federer is actively working, he tries to do more and more by strengthening the muscle tone not only in the leg and knee, but in the whole body. The most important thing for him is to gradually return to the field, but Right now I can’t imagine seeing him play at Wimbledon. Even though I can’t say it’s impossible. ” The captain of the Swiss Davis Cup national team, who played in the preliminary rounds against Lebanon over the weekend, also revealed that Federer should return to swapping a few balls with his wife Mirka this week. For now, Roger is only registered for the Laver Cup, scheduled for 23-25 ​​September in London. But the return remains a puzzle.
