Roger Federer is withdrawing from the Australian Open while he continues preparing to return to action after two operations on his right knee, his agent has announced.
Tony Godsick — Federer’s long-time representative and CEO of their management company, TEAM8 — said he is working on putting together a 2021 tennis calendar for the 20-time grand slam champion, who plans to get back on tour soon after the year’s first major tennis tournament.
