Roger Federer has hinted that he is unlikely to play a singles match at the 2022 Laver Cup. If that holds, his 2021 Wimbledon quarterfinal against Hubert Hurkacz would go down as his final career singles match on tour.The Swiss tennis legend recently made a major revelation about the Wimbledon match, which drew sympathy and applause from fans. Federer stated that the third and final set of the match against Hurkacz, which he lost 0-6, was one of the "worst hours of his career." Federer was referring to his knee injury, which had already rendered him 'not fully fit' going into the 2021 Wimbledon Championships.The Swiss also expressed surprise at not being asked about the injury, which was an obvious problem, during the post-match press conference. He joked that he was probably a great actor who hid his problems quite well."The last set against Hurkacz was one of the worst hours of my career. I realized that nothing works anymore. It's over. The disappointment felt like fireworks in my head. I didn't know how to proceed with this knee. At the press conference, nobody asked how the knee was doing. I thought: Hey, am I such a good actor that nobody noticed?" Federer revealed in an interview with nzz.ch. Brian🇨🇭@camerlengo73_2FEDERER:“At the press conference nobody asked how the knee was doing.

Some expressed their disappointment with the media, claiming that Federer is often not given the benefit of the doubt when it comes to injuries as he is always expected to keep playing and winning. Others lauded the 20-time Slam champion for not giving excuses despite a difficult loss, while also throwing shade at players like Rafael Nadal - who they believe mention their injuries too often."Federer is so so classy. If it were to be a certain player from Spain,he would have mentioned the knee 58474 times in the press conference and talk about how there are much more things important than tennis.
