Roger Federer has played 65 consecutive slams since 1999; unfortunately, this record will end this year because Roger Federer has just announced that he will not participate in the upcoming French Open for a problem to his back.

Roger released the following statement “I regret to announce that I have made the decision not to play in this year’s French Open. I have been making steady progress with my overall fitness, but I am still not 100% and feel I might be taking an unnecessary risk by playing in this event before I am really ready.

This decision was not easy to make, but I took it to ensure I could play the remainder of the season and help to extend the rest of my career. I remain as motivated and excited as ever, and my plan is to achieve the highest level of fitness before returning to the ATP World Tour for the upcoming grass court season.

I am sorry for my fans in Paris, but I very much look forward to returning to Roland Garros in 2017.”

Let’s hope to see Roger in full form for the grass season. He has three tournaments to play, and he can win all of 3. Wimbledon will also start in 38 days, so there is hope.
