Federer doubtful for US Open | After withdrawing from 2 events with knee injury | HM Sport

Roger Federer looks doubtful for this month's US Open after pulling out of the upcoming hard-court tournaments in Toronto and Cincinnati citing lingering issues with his surgically repaired knee.

This news follows the 20-time Grand Slam champion's decision to sit out the Tokyo Olympics after he said he “experienced a setback” with his knee during the grass-court season.

Federer, who is soon to turn 40, has not competed since losing in the Wimbledon quarterfinals to Hubert Hurkacz on 8th July.

Play begins at Toronto on Monday, and at Cincinnati on 16th August, traditionally they are the two primary warm up events ahead of the U.S. Open which is due to start on 30th August.

Federer is a seven-time champion in Cincinnati and has won two titles in Canada.
