Federer on Comeback

[jimlosaltos]

Update on Roger Federer's rehab and plans. Per SRF Sport in Switzerland.

Federer: "Worst is behind me, I'm looking forward to everything that comes" 40 yo sees the return to ATP as a “challenge”. He wants to “get back to fitness training and the field as soon as possible” 1 of Fed's goals is 2022 Laver Cup in London. No details beyond that.

The Living Proof...The Book is Bill Tilden. Richard Gonzalez is the model with the Don Budge backhand. Harry Hopman is the Coach and Roger Federer is the Living Proof.

Tennis has taken a huge dive as I have been saying for years...when Roger leaves the stadium. You can have all of the Novak Djokovic and Rafa Nadal you care to have but when push comes to shove...the tour was Roger's. Now that he is gone the tour is going to struggle. There isn't a single player that is watchable any time he hits the court. Roger made other matches interesting when you contemplated his opponents in the draw. But now...there is nothing. Not a single match resonates with a purists taste. Nothing in the U. S. Open appealed to me...not even the final. I didn't even watch it.

It's nice to hear Roger weigh in on his comeback possibilities. One has to be optimistic...there is always hope.
