FEDERER NON ANDRA' A RIO 2016

Dear Fans,

I’m extremely disappointed to announce that I will not be able to represent Switzerland at the Olympic Games in Rio and that I will also miss the remainder of the season. Considering all options after consulting with my doctors and my team, I have made the very difficult decision to call an end to my 2016 season as I need more extensive rehabilitation following my knee surgery earlier this year. The doctors advised that if I want to play on the ATP World Tour injury free for another few years, as I intend to do, I must give both my knee and body the proper time to fully recover. It is tough to miss the rest of the year. However, the silver lining is that this experience has made me realize how lucky I have been throughout my career with very few injuries. The love I have for tennis, the competition, tournaments and of course you, the fans remains intact. I am as motivated as ever and plan to put all my energy towards coming back strong, healthy and in shape to play attacking tennis in 2017.

Thanks for your continued support.

Roger

ATP UMAGO: QUARTO TITOLO IN CARRIERA X FABIO

Le dichiarazioni di Fabio  in conferenza stampa

“Dopo la Davis sono arrivato stanco ma avevo una gran voglia di giocare. Ci ho messo davvero tutto il cuore e ci tenevo tantissimo. Durante la premiazione non sono riuscito a ringraziare il mio allenatore, José Perlas, che purtroppo è assente per un lutto in famiglia. Ma questa vittoria è anche per lui“.

È andata bene, parto da Umago con un successo che mi rende molto felice. Tutto il mio team sa quanto ho sofferto, quanto siano stati difficili gli ultimi mesi in cui ho giocato poco e non ho vinto partite. Se dal punto di vista familiare, con il matrimonio, ho vissuto il giorno più bello della mia vita, dal punto di vista tennistico quest’anno è stata dura. Ma adesso ho fiducia. Vado a Toronto stanco ma con tanta voglia di giocare. Se perderò, pazienza, mi preparerò al meglio per le Olimpiadi; e se vincerò partite, sarà ancora meglio. Questi 250 punti sono davvero preziosi per me”.
