Roger Federer will not make an appearance at the Olympics later this month. The 39-year-old Swiss tennis legend is again suffering from a knee injury, he announced via social media.
“Unfortunately, during the grass season, I had a relapse with my knee, and therefore, I have to withdraw from the Tokyo Games,” writes Federer. “I have already started my recovery and hope to return later in the summer.”
