Roger Federer’s comeback has lengthy been slated to happen on the Laver Cup held in London from September 23-25, 2022.
In earlier posts, I famous that as a result of there have been zero updates from Federer himself, nor have any grainy footage emerged from die-hard Swiss followers peaking by the bushes on the observe courts in Zurich, this isn’t an excellent signal.
Whereas now we have seen a number of sponsor-created video clips that embody a handful of half-paced groundstrokes and heard speak of Federer practising at low depth with a buddy and ex-player Ivo Heuberger, there was no proof of coaching with Paganini or severe level play towards higher-level opposition.
Federer and his shut workforce stay totally silent on his comeback. Whereas there’s an opportunity they’ve fooled the tennis world by getting ready behind closed doorways on a non-public courtroom hidden within the Swiss Alps, just a few rumours are starting to flow into that issues aren’t going swimmingly.
Earlier right now, Simon Graf, writing for the daily Swiss newspaper, Tages-Anzeiger, revealed that ‘varied sources’ imagine that Federer’s return to tennis is up within the air, and he could have had water on the knee once more.
Sure, everyone knows tips on how to deal with claims that begin with “an unknown supply stated”, normally present in articles attempting to disseminate a authorities/pharma-backed narrative (trace, they do not exist), and we do not get a sign of whether or not water on the knee was final week or six months in the past, it’s worrying nonetheless.
Graf’s work on Federer has traditionally been dependable. So it appears unlikely there’d be an incentive to make one thing up concerning the Swiss maestro’s bodily standing or increase considerations when there are none.
Will Federer be proud of the press questioning his health? Most likely not, until he is ready within the wings, able to hit the bottom working, however both means, his followers are overdue an replace on his comeback standing.
What do you suppose? Will Federer play the Laver Cup? Let me know within the feedback.
