"I would love to see Roger playing again" - Murray wishes Federer returns soon

Andy Murray explained he would “love to see” Roger Federer competing on tour again and hopes to play alongside him at another tournament.

Federer, 40, has been out of action since Wimbledon last year after undergoing a third knee operation. It is not yet known when he will return to the tour, although he is signed up to play the Laver Cup in September and Swiss Indoors Basel in October.

Speaking after his 1st round win in Stuttgart, Murray said:

“I would love to see Roger back playing again. It’s always difficult to know when the end is. Obviously, people have been talking about it for many years. The next generation have come through, [but] the same guys are still winning the Grand Slams and I’d love to see Roger back competing again."

He further said:

“I don’t know his situation, but I believe he will get back to competing. I don’t know how long for, but I really hope we can play another tournament together. It’s been a long time.”
