Roger Federer shared pictures on Instagram that showed him working out. That’s the clearest indication we have that Federer is working on his return to the courts later this summer.

Federer has already said that he will not be ready for Wimbledon. He hasn’t played since Wimbledon last year. He underwent a second surgery on his knee. The rehab has taken longer than expected.

Federer will be 41 this summer. At his age, it will be a tall order for Federer to keep up with young players such as Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. 

It’s amazing to see a player with 20 grand slams working hard at age 40 to get back on the court. Most of Federer’s peers have been retired for many years.
