Roger Federer has been warned to avoid the same fate as Serena Williams, if he makes his long-awaited return to the ATP Tour. Federer has been out of action since the 2021 Wimbledon last summer, having gone through triple knee surgery during his time off.
His injury woes ruled himself out of this year’s tournament, but the Swiss star has vowed to return to SW19 at least once before his retirement. One fellow star who did return this year though is Wimbledon legend Serena Williams.
Like Federer, Williams had endured a lengthy spell on the sidelines before deciding to make a fairytale comeback at this summer’s tournament. Unfortunately for the American she was unable to replicate her SW19 heroics of years gone by this time around, as she suffered an opening round defeat to France’s Harmony Tan.
