The tennis great has been unable to feature in games due to suffering
from a knee injury. The last game he played was against Hubert Hurkacz in the
Wimbledon quarter-finals that took place in July.

He was forced to pull out of the Tokyo Olympics as well as
the US Open to undergo a surgery on his right knee. His last Grand Slam title came
a while back when he lifted the Australian Open in 2018 after beating Marin
Cilic in the final.

Presently, he is focused on recovering fully before re-joining
the tennis circuit.
