BH CORRESPONDENT, Basel: Now, this news won’t go down well with the tennis enthusiast. Imagine a French Open without Roger Federer? Yes, that hurts. And badly. The 20-time Grand Slam champion took his Twitter to announce that a minor surgery on his right knee will keep me away from French Open. And we are not sure if he will play at the Wimbledon or not? Hope he does.
“My right knee has been bothering me for a little while,” he said. “I hoped it would go away but, after an examination, and discussion with my team, I decided to have arthroscopic surgery in Switzerland yesterday. After the procedure, the doctors confirmed that it was the right thing to have done and are very confident of a full recovery. As a result, I will unfortunately have to miss Dubai, Indian Wells, Bogota, Miami and the French Open, ” he tweeted.
