As usual, Roger Federer was eloquent at the Sports Awards on Sunday evening at SRF’s studio in Zurich. However, the individual statements of the best Swiss sportsman of the last 70 years leave room for speculation.
“I share the victory with all of you,” said Federer when he addressed his teammates at the end of the television gala with the trophy in hand. “We all inspire each other. Passion, will, and the ability to bite are what set us all apart. ”The 20 Grand Slam winner garnered nearly half of all the votes from the jury and audience – there could be no other winner in this special election.
However, a few words from Federer made people sit up and take notice, leaving room for speculation. “I hope there is still something to see from me in the new year,” Federer said. “But if that’s what it was supposed to be me, who knows, it would be an incredible end point for me here at the Sport Awards.
Wimbledon as a goal
Will the world’s # 1 veteran never return to the tennis court? Before and during the broadcast, the 39-year-old Basel bidder had indicated that his planned return for the Australian Open in Melbourne in January would be delayed. Six months after his second knee arthroscopy this year, Federer still doesn’t feel 100 percent fit.
“I take it step by step,” Federer said after the broadcast. Of course he would like to participate in the Australian Open, but he will not force anything. “If I don’t make it, no world will collapse for me,” says Federer. It is important for him to be fit in the summer. Wimbledon, the Tokyo Olympics and the US Open in New York are the big goals of the season for the eight-time Wimbledon winner. “For me it doesn’t matter if I come back in two months or in six months. It would be nice if I could go back to the field once more. “
