Roger Federer is not a happy guy right now. Even if Roger is 34, the Swiss still possesses one of the best game in the world, and the recent problems he is facing are making him rather frustrated.

Roger has been struggling with his back since the beginning of his stellar career. This injury has been the last of a rather difficult beginning of the season for the Maestro that was the Brisbane runner-up (stopped by the flu and Raonic). After the Australian Open, Roger had to be operated to his knee, then he couldn’t play in Miami for a virus, and now he has been stopped by his back in Madrid. 

Federer. Probably the cold was the trigger for my back pain

The Swiss thinks training in the cold in Switzerland may have caused some problems for him “I’ve been playing a lot of practice on clay,” he said. “I’ve been putting a lot of hours in. I was ten days in Monaco before the tournament and played three matches there. Now, also last two weeks, I was back on the clay even though it was cold in Switzerland. Maybe that didn’t help my back. I’m not sure, but I practiced there for many days as well.”

Roger is now scheduled to play in Rome, and he wants to do well in Italy.
