Roger Federer Eyes Tokyo Olympics if Knee Stays Healthy

Roger Federer returns to action at this week's Qatar Open after two knee operations ended his 2020 season. The Swiss star says he is already setting his sights on the Tokyo Olympics.

"Participation in the Olympics is part of my plan although my main goal was everything from today until Wimbledon, the tournament that precedes the Olympics," Federer told beIN Sports, via Reuters.

"I hope that I will be fully in [shape] by then and that questions about my knee will stop."

After he last played in his Australian Open semifinal loss to Novak Djokovic in February 2020, Federer has missed 13 months while rehabbing his knee.
