The 20-times Grand Slam champion said he would be able to resume running in January and return to training on the court in March or April. Federer is tied with Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic in the race to be the most successful men's singles Grand Slam champion of all time. Another injury forced Federer to skip the US Open as he went under the knife again and he said doctors also fixed cartilage in his knee. Federer has not won a Grand Slam since clinching the Australian Open title in 2018 but the Swiss veteran said he is still holding out for a 'miracle'. "My life is not going to collapse if I don't play a Grand Slam final again," he added.
