Tennis: Boris Becker doubts comeback by Roger Federer

Boris Becker does not dare for a prognosis about a possible comeback of the injured tennis superstars Roger Federer - but he is not too optimistic.

It's the third OP at the same knee, that's not a good sign, said the German Tennis Idol on Friday in a media round of the TV channel Eurosport over the 40-year-old Swiss: I would wish Roger again fit And playfully to see top on a place. But there is a lot in suspension.

Grand Slam record champion Federer announced in mid-August that he has to operate a third time at the right knee and will be for months. Only in March he had returned to the tour after a break and two interventions on the knee.

He said he's trying to return to a tennis court again - so vague he never expressed himself, said Becker (53) worried. However, much more important is that Federer will be healthy again.

The rest of his life is still in front of him, that he can play tennis, he does not have to prove us anymore, Becker said and Riet Federer: Take care of your health, you're not going to go on the devil. Risk that maybe you have permanent damage in the knee. That would be the maximum penalty.
