The last three years have been tough to say the least - Roger Federer on his injury struggles

Roger Federer is interviewed ahead of the 2022 Laver Cup. Roger Federer revealed that it has been a tough three years for him dealing with injury setbacks. The Swiss maestro also spoke about how he knew he was on 'thin ice' since the 2021 Wimbledon Championships. “The last three years have been tough to say the least. I knew I was on very thin ice for the last year ever since I played Wimbledon. I tried to come back but there was a limit to what I could do. And I stopped believing in it, to be honest," said Federer. He also mentioned that his wife, Mirka, did not enjoy watching him play anymore as he was dealing with injury setbacks. "The last few years were hard for me, but I think they were even harder for her. She really didn't enjoy watching me anymore, with all the injuries. I felt kind of sorry for her. It's a great relief for her that it's over now," he added. Roger Federer@rogerfedererIt was beautiful to release the news surrounded by my Mum and Dad and Mirka.
