Tennis Roger Federer: Tennis star will miss the Olympic Games in Rio
JUL 26, 2016 LISTEN

Tennis star Roger Federer has announced he will miss the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio and the rest of the tennis season due to a knee injury.

In a statement released by the Swiss professional tennis player on his Facebook page, the decision comes after consulting his doctors on his knee injury.

'Dear Fans,
I'm extremely disappointed to announce that I will not be able to represent Switzerland at the Olympic Games in Rio and that I will also miss the remainder of the season.

Considering all options after consulting with my doctors and my team, I have made the very difficult decision to call an end to my 2016 season as I need more extensive rehabilitation following my knee surgery earlier this year.
