Tennis ace Roger Federer bowed out of the 2020 season, citing a setback in his initial rehabilitation from the surgery on his injured knee as the reason. Following his semi-final loss to Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open 2020, World No.4 Roger Federer hasn't set foot on the tennis court. The former World No.1 went under the knife in February to repair his injured knee and was looking ahead to make a comeback at the Wimbledon 2020, which was canceled later due to COVID-19.
