Wow

 

[Kowchi]

No big surprise here.

 

[MaratandMilos]

Sounds to me like he didn't want to go through that quarantine.

 

[The Federest]

Dang, but hopefully means he plays RG and some of clay masters.

 

[Johnny Groove]

See you in Dubai

Not a lot more info but here’s the article written by the AP reporter Rothenberg retweeted:

Agent to AP: Federer to miss Australia; planning 2021 return

 

[Djoker]

Not surprising, but still baffling a tad bit, so he plans a slower return to the Tour, that much is only certain.

Sounds to me like he didn't want to go through that quarantine.

Why would he? If the quarantine impacts his fitness, that would be yet another setback for him after working hard to regain an appropriate level of fitness.

 

[Dupuis2006]

Omg

 

[alypen]

Seems sensible. I thought it was asking a lot to come straight back from injury into a BO5 tournament. But disappointing none the less.

Who the hell cares about the french open, which he isn’t winning in a million years? Last year was his last realistic chance to do damage there but sadly the wind screwed him over- (not that he had beaten nadal but he could’ve made it at least competitive)
I’m so pissed right now. I was looking forward to the open so much this time because I’d have all time in the world during those two weeks but now it’s not even worth spending a second watching it with federer out. I don’t want to see people choking Against Djokovic all over the place again.

also it’s insane how much bad luck federer had with injuries during the past 3 years. I hope the nadaltards finally shut the hell up with their injuries, since their guy had never been out longer than 2 months. Now try 13 months for federer. (I know technically it’s only 8 months since they didn’t play between March and July) but still.

 

[Hamida]

No

 

[IBM]

Not really surprising to me since he didn't seem to be 100% fit and probably won't be near his peak level anyway after two weeks of quarantine. If you asked me that's quite a sensible decision

 

[SamprasHewittLOL]

I think Federer also might just not have any interest in returning when there aren't any crowds. If this Covid crap drags on, he might just hang it up without even playing a final tournament (which he would want to be Wimbledon), since he would find playing a last tournament without a full crowd to be lame and not worth it.

 

[Lukasgigler]

So being injured is enough to induce hate?. 😂

No everyone is injured from time to time but he’s now out for 13 months. That’s just ridiculous. That’s almost del Potro level of injury at this point. What the hell did he do with his knees

 

[NextGenKing]

Ah sorry mate. The draw would be better with him

He is 39. In all honesty, he will probably retire in the next 2 years. Don't expect too much.

 

[Hamida]

I should get refund for my tickets.Especially since I baught them at double price so I could see Roger play.

 

[Hamida]

It’s not official tho.
