Federer to wait until after Wimbledon to decide on Tokyo Olympics

Swiss tennis star Roger Federer plans to reassess whether he will compete at the Tokyo Olympics after Wimbledon, which begins on Monday. During a press conference on Saturday, Federer told reporters that he wanted to wait and see how the tournament goes before making decisions about Tokyo. “Obviously, if I play really good here or really bad, I think it has an impact on how everything might look for the summer,” he said. “Still, my feeling is I would like to go to the Olympics. I would like to play as many tournaments as possible. But I think we decided now let’s just get through Wimbledon, sit down as a team, and then decide where we go from there.” The Tokyo Olympics, which were postponed due to the pandemic, are scheduled to start a little more than a week after Wimbledon finishes. Federer, who has 20 Grand Slam titles, has won two Olympic medals for Switzerland at the London 2012 and Beijing 2008 Games. Federer sat out the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics because of a knee injury.
