Roger Federer, the 17-time Grand Slam champion, announced Tuesday that he would miss the remainder of the tennis season to rehabilitate a knee injury.

Federer, who turns 35 next month, tore the meniscus in his left knee in a mishap with his twin daughters after losing in the semifinals of the Australian Open. He had surgery, the first of his career, in February.
