 What's going on everybody welcome back to some breaking news and Roger Federer is officially out of the Olympics He's withdrawn overnight not going to the Olympic Games in 2021. He's just brought out a statement So let's go see what he released out on Twitter a couple hours ago Here's the tweet from Federer saying during the grass court season I unfortunately experienced a setback with my knee and have accepted that I must withdraw from the Tokyo Olympic Games I'm greatly disappointed as it has been an honor and a highlight of my career each time I've represented Switzerland I've already begun rehabilitation in the hopes of returning to the tour later this summer I wish the entire Swiss team the best of luck and I'll be rooting hard from afar as always hop Swiss So you have it Roger Federer officially out of the Olympics and that puts an end to his Olympic career because of course the next Olympics is actually in 2024 and it's played at the French Open on the clay courts And I doubt that Roger Federer is going to be playing for another three years on tour and play the Olympics Who know what he might he's still playing at 40 years old almost so maybe he will play But if it is the end of his career at Olympic level He of course won a gold medal in the doubles with Stanford rinker back in 2008 in Beijing And he didn't play the Olympics back in Rio in 2016 which would have been his last Olympics So his last Olympics was the silver medal at the London Games back in 2012 So let me know down in the comments below. What do you think of this one? Do you think Federer? You know is it unfortunate that he's not playing do you care that he's not playing it opens the door up for Novak Djokovic Of course who is going for the Golden Slam? He's won three in a row. He's going for the Golden Slam He has to play the Olympics. He is going to the Olympics the Federer He joins a long list of names who aren't playing this year so the Olympic games it starts in a couple of weeks with Roger Federer He won't be competing
