Roger Federer and his wife Mirka have been extremely careful during this Coronavirus pandemic. During a recent appearance at the SRF program, “Sportpanorama plus”, Federer explained what he has done with his family during the pandemic. Roger revealed that they were very careful and they avoided seeing people external to their immediate family.
Roger Federer and Mirka vs. the Coronavirus
During the program, Roger commented:
“I have never seen my parents and friends. We take the virus very seriously. And we had to explain it to the kids. The two girls are eleven now, they understood it immediately. The boys forgot it at some point,” said Roger.
Federer also added that he has played only once after his “Match for Africa” exhibition with Rafael Nadal and that happened as far as last February. The former world no.1 had to endure a couple of procedures to his right knee. Roger’s recovery wasn’t great after his first operation, but now things are looking better and better and he will start training on-court by the middle of August.
Federer, the US Open and the Australian Open
Roger will definitely skip the upcoming US Open while he is targeting to come back for the Australian Open. Federer’s coach Severin Luthi is so confident about Federer’s recovery that he conceded that they are even thinking about playing a tournament right before the Australian Open to get the feeling of competitions once again.
