Roger Federer questioned his participation in the next Australian Open, of which no official dates are known, and noted that he would like to have more time to recover from the knee injury he suffered earlier in the year.
The Swiss then had to undergo a arthroscopy in the knee and has been rehabilitating, without participating in the resumption of the circuit last August. Now, with the possible dispute of the Australian Open in early February – the 8th seems the most plausible day – the Swiss questioned his participation in said event.
“I would love to be in Australia, but maybe it's too early for my knee. I don't want to take the next step until I'm ready. These three weeks of margin (until the 8th) can help me a little, “said the Swiss at the ceremony prior to the 'Sports Awards'. “Summer, with Wimbledon, the Olympics and the US Open should be my priority,” added the winner of 20 Grand Slams.
