Roger Federer has just announced that he will not play the Rogers Cup in Toronto, and the explanation from the Rogers Cup tournament director Kart Hale is a bit worrying.
Why Federer is not ready
Hale is not happy for the defection of Murray, the defending champion, Nadal, and Federer. According to Kart, Federer “hurt himself, he had surgery earlier this year; he hurt himself again playing Milos in the Wimbledon semis, so he’s still a bit banged up.
At 34, almost 35, he’s not feeling ready to go in Toronto. So he needs more time to recover and practice to continue his season.
Djokovic will definitely play
The good news is that Djokovic will definitely play “I’ve spoken with him over the past few days. He’s coming on Saturday; he’s made all of his arrangements. Practice time is going to be 5:00 Saturday and Sunday at 12. We’re 100 per cent certain Novak will be on site and excited to go.”
