Wimbledon stands still as Federer returns with a big hint on future.
“I’ve been lucky enough to play a lot of matches on this court,” he added. “This is where dreams come true and I was blessed in 2011, probably the highlight of my career, to win the tournament and so when I step out on this court I relive these memories. “I maybe didn’t think it was going to take this long to come back – the knee has been rough on me.”
Returning to the scene of his most successful court in grand slams, the Swiss maestro dropped a massive hint about his future.
Federer has said he plans to return to tournament action at the Swiss Indoors in October. “I’ve been lucky enough to play a lot of matches on this court,” he said on Sunday. “(It) feels awkward to be here today in a different type of role. He had surgery soon after to repair damage to his meniscus and cartilage in his right knee - his third operation on that knee in 18 months - and he hasn’t been seen on a court since. “(I’ve) just tried to be successful here and represent the sport well,” he said. Roger Federer sent fans into raptures on Sunday when he announced that he aims to return to the All England Club “one more time.”
Roger Federer said he wants to play Wimbledon "one more time," speaking on Centre Court on a ceremony marking the court's 100 years.
“The knee has been rough on me, but I’ve been happy. “I’ve missed being here. The record eight-time men’s singles champion underwent a third knee surgery in an 18-month span after a quarterfinal exit at last year’s Wimbledon. He said last fall that he expected to be out through this year’s Wimbledon.
“I personally miss Roger in the tennis tour and tennis of course miss him, tournaments, fans, everyone,” 22-time major champion Rafael Nadal said Saturday. “...
I haven’t talked to him about that. “He won’t rush back this time,” Godsick told Standard Sport. “He will have to be 100% and know he’s 100% and that’s why he’s taking his time doing heavy rehab and training. I know he’s encouraged where he is. Not only Wimbledon. He's a well missed player in every single event of tennis, without a doubt.” He underwent a third knee surgery and will turn 41 in August. Maybe I didn't think it was gonna take me this long to come back but the knee has been rough on me.
Roger Federer says he hopes to play Wimbledon “one more time” despite being sidelined for a year with a knee injury.
“I’ve been lucky enough to play a lot of matches on this court,” he added. “This is where dreams come true and I was blessed in 2011, probably the highlight of my career, to win the tournament and so when I step out on this court I relive these memories. “I maybe didn’t think it was going to take this long to come back – the knee has been rough on me.”
WIMBLEDON, England — There he was, a surprise, perhaps the biggest of this Wimbledon fortnight: Roger Federer in the flesh Sunday on Centre Court.
It was a reminder of the way greatness gives way to greatness, one generation to the next — and a reminder that Federer was not on hand to help keep youth at bay. It felt reminiscent of the energy surrounding a certain Swiss player at the start of his great Wimbledon career. The match ended in the dwindling sunlight, 9-7 in the fifth set, with Federer shedding tears of agony. There he was again, the defending champion, dashing across the same baseline with the same staunch resolve as when he snatched victory from his longtime rival. About an hour later, he won the match, 13-12, in a fifth-set tiebreaker. “There will be places where he’ll be able to do better just because of the nature of the surface,” he said. Then came Nadal. When Nadal finally beat Federer in the final in 2008, their match was regarded as one of the greatest ever played. Federer was the champion in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2012 and 2017. He continued for a short while, bathing in the warm adoration, taking in the old stadium and its memories. During the opening four days, attendance dropped to levels not seen in over a decade. How do you explain the power of absence? He added, “It feels awkward to be here today in a different type of role.”

Tennis legend Roger Federer has been off the tennis court for a year with a horror knee injury but the Swiss maestro may not be done.
“I’ve been lucky enough to play a lot of matches on this court,” he added. “This is where dreams come true and I was blessed in 2011, probably the highlight of my career, to win the tournament and so when I step out on this court I relive these memories. “This court has been truly special from my childhood and the first image of tennis I’ve seen, when I was four or five years old I saw Pete Sampras wining his first Wimbledon. “It feels awkward to be here today in a different type of role but great to be here with all the other champions. “I maybe didn’t think it was going to take this long to come back — the knee has been rough on me.” “I knew walking out here last year, it was going to be a tough year ahead,” Federer said, who received a standing ovation when he entered the court.

I bet with Goran (coach) that in the future, they might allow a little paint on the equipment, and he says there is no chance. It is as if my mind had left my body to photograph this moment of cohabitation with the greatest, weighted today with 61 Grand Slam titles.

Novak Djokovic met Roger Federer on Sunday at Wimbledon and he used the chance to tell the Swiss that he is rooting to see him back in action.
In the fifth set of his final versus Djokovic, Federer had two championship points on his serve but failed to close out the match as Djokovic won a thriller final. He's been struggling with injuries for the past few years and played only a couple of tournaments - and like he said, it was unusual seeing him here at Wimbledon in a different role. We've all seen how special it was when he entered the Centre Court. Everyone was on their feet, everyone showed their love and respect towards him - and he really is a legend in every aspect.

and I was like "It's that simple, I just tell you what to do and you do it?" But then after the first week, usually, he starts to play better and better and usually when he gets to the final he comes in with confidence, and then center court for him is so good." When we played in Rome, I saw at this moment that Djokovic played better than Rafael. And when we got to Roland Garros, we knew that Djokovic was the best.

After the match, Roger said it was the best performance from him since the Hamburg final a year ago against Marat Safin on clay, hitting some wonderful shots and gaining confidence from them before the final. In the quarters, Federer floored an injured Sjeng Schalken to advance to the first major semi-final where he met another young gun Andy Roddick. Roger spent five hours on court in the first three matches of Wimbledon 2003.
The Swiss' supporters took heart from his Centre Court appearance on Sunday, but it's still an unusual and uncertain time for the Fed faithful.
I think what he’s doing this year is really good for tennis.” But she also finds herself rooting for Federer’s old antagonist, Nadal. “I said, ‘No, that doesn’t sound like him.’ I think he knows his importance to tennis, and he’ll give his fans around the world a chance to see him again next year.” Unfortunately, we won’t see Federer hit his other-side-of-the-net volley, or anything else, at Wimbledon this year.

RAFAEL NADAL has made it through to the quarter-finals of Wimbledon for the eighth time in his career.
"It was a very emotional moment and thanks to Wimbledon for that opportunity.
