Federer has been on crutches for five weeks since he exposed surgery: he will not regret it and will go all out to fight

After Federer broke through the first round of the French Open, he lamented that it was not easy for him to recover from injuries. He took crutches for five weeks after the operation and now cherishes his healthy body and says he will fight with all his might.

In the first round of the French Open men's singles, Federer defeated Istomin in three straight sets to win the opening and advance to the second round. With his comeback grand slam win, Federer was clearly excited. He told the outside world about his previous difficult time of surgery and recovery, saying that he would have to take crutches five weeks after the operation; he cherished the physical condition in which he could play at the moment, and would spare no effort for the game.

"I had to walk on crutches for five weeks after my first surgery and obviously I had a lot of effort to rehabilitate and train to get back on the tennis court. So I'm very happy to be playing in front of the audience again. I'm not going to spare anything this year, I feel like I'm getting stronger every month, and I hope that by Wimbledon I'll be able to bounce off the top players... And maybe there will be some surprises in Paris. Federer said.

In the second round, Federer will face Cilic. It was a showdown between two Grand Slam champions, with Federer leading 9-1 on the match record. The last time the two played each other was in the 2018 Australian Open final, when the Swiss king won five sets to win his 20th Grand Slam title.

"I trained with him in Geneva. It feels no different from the previous Cilic, with the forehand and backhands hitting the winning ball from all angles. But I watched him play against Stricker and it played badly. Federer said this when talking about the fight with Cilic.

Cilic responded: "When we talk about Roger Federer, age is really never a big issue. I know he has some secret recipes. ”

"I haven't had a physical setback for a long time. It's true that progress is slower now, but it feels better every month, which is a positive sign. Hopefully, by the time Wimbledon arrives, I can fully recover my health. Federer added after the game.
