Roger Federer "pumped up" for imminent Wimbledon return

Roger Federer has rediscovered his positive attitude ahead of Wimbledon as he looks to challenge for a ninth title.

The Swiss, who turns 40 in just over a month, is playing only his fifth tournament in 17 months following two knee operations in 2020.

Wimbledon was always the biggest target for Federer's comeback, and he pulled out of the French Open after winning his third-round match in order to rest his body for the grass.

Federer has left wife Mirka and their four children at home because of the constraints of the bubble, with players only able to leave their city-centre hotel to go to the All England Club.

"It does feel totally different than the last 20 years since I've been coming here," he said. "We would arrive with the family, kids would be running everywhere. We organised the grocery shopping, get the house set up and all that stuff. Here we're with the team.

"But I still feel a big privilege that I'm actually able to play Wimbledon. If I look back at everything that I went through for the last year and a bit more with the injury, also with the pandemic, it's great that Wimbledon is back on. I'm happy I'm here."
