Roger Federer It is the big loss for the Australian Open 2021. It was thought that the recovery of the knee (after a double surgery in 2020) was the main reason, but on Thursday, January 7, another version appeared.
Andre Sa, director of relations with the Australian Open players, told Ace Band Sports about the discussion he had with Federer: “The main reason was quarantine. I spoke to him a month ago and he had two options. “It could come with all the family and self-quarantine. The problem is that Mirka and her kids couldn’t leave the room. They should stay in the room for 14 days. “But Mirka didn’t approve of the idea.”
“The second option would be for him to come alone. And that meant being at least five weeks away from family and children. From what he told me: “Man, I’m 39 years old, have four children and 20 Grand Slams. I don’t have time to be away from my family for five weeks, “said Her Majesty, who has not played at the 2020 Australian Open.
