"Roger Federer will not win a Major in 2022" says Pam Shriver

Former world number 3 Pam Shriver never won a singles grand slam trophy but she has won plenty of doubles ones and she believes Roger Federer won't win a major in 2022.

Roger Federer has had a tough 2021 season as his return to tennis was not as successful as he planned. He suffered a setback with his knee that forced him to abandon his plans of playing further in 2021 hoping to return better in 2022. Federer underwent yet another knee surgery that left him crutches for a while but he is set to make a full recovery.

Many believe all of those efforts were made in order for Federer to make one final push in tennis during the 2022 season. Tennis legend Pam Shriver wants to see Federer back on the courts as a tennis fan yet she does not believe he has what it takes to be a major champion once more.

How will it handle the wear and tear of consistently playing again remains to be seen.
