Roger Federer gave a health update at an event hosted by his sponsor Credit Suisse. Federer said that his recovery has been slow and he will know where he stands physically in April.

Federer said:

I have very interesting and important few months ahead of me,. I feel like I will know a whole lot more this coming April where my body is going to be like. Up until now I wasn’t really allowed to run yet, do the heavy workload with jumps and stop-and-go’s. So, I hope that’s all going to start, hopefully in a couple of weeks, and then we will see how the body will react to that.

Federer has been recovering from a second surgery on his left knee. He hasn’t played since his loss to Hubert Hurkacz at the 2021 Wimbledon quarterfinals.

Roger Federer is almost 41 years old. As his body ages and the longer he stays away from the court, his chances of a successful comeback diminish. But Federer fans are hoping for a last hurray from him this year.

17-year old Nicholas Godsick, son of Roger Federer‘s agent Tony Godsick and former WTA world number 4 Mary Joe Fernandez reached the doubles  quarterfinals at the Cleveland Challenger partnering Dominic Stricker.

Godsick and Stricker lost to the American pair Jackson Withrow and Robert Galloway in a deciding tiebreak. In 2021, Godsick reached the boys’ double semifinals at the US Open.

Nicholas Godsick has been a familiar figure in Federer’s box with his parents. He has also practiced with Federer occasionally for years.
