Roger Federer is working towards a comeback and
John McEnroe would love to see it happen explaining how unbelievable it would be.
Roger Federer made a comeback last year but the Swiss ace did not look good too well especially at Wimbledon. It was later revealed that his knee was not really in very good shape which is why he underwent yet another surgery that should finally fix the problem. Whether it will remains to be seen as he is still many months away from officially returning to tennis.
John McEnroe would love to see it explaining:
“It goes without saying that anytime we are at an event where Roger is not playing we miss him. He is the classiest player and the most beautiful player I have seen on a court. As a fan I would love to see Roger around."
Then he spoke about his future:
“As far as the future, he’s 40 years old. He’s had numerous surgeries on his knee, there’s a lot of wear and tear, it would be unbelievable if he could come back and get close to the level that he was at. I thought the same thing five years ago when I was coaching [Milos] Raonic and Roger walked off after the Wimbledon semi-finals [in 2016] and was limping and didn’t play for six months. Then he won the Australian Open."
He finished off with:
“He’s pulled off the improbable before but this would be the most amazing of all if he was to win another Wimbledon. Whatever makes him happy is what he deserves. If he wants to play we will be happy he is playing but I don’t want to see Roger at 80 per cent. We have seen that with [Andy] Murray and it’s not easy. You want to see the top guys play at their best.”
