TIL Desk Sports/ Roger Federer confirmed his participation in next year’s Olympic Games in Tokyo and said, on Monday, that he had listened to his heart before making the decision.
The Swiss 38-year-old competed in the first of four Olympic Games at Sydney in 2000 and won the doubles gold partnering Stanislas Wawrinka in 2008 and a silver in singles in 2012.
He missed the 2016 Olympics due to a knee injury. “At the end of the day my heart decided I would love to play the Olympic Games again,” Federer told reporters during a promotional event for his sponsor Uniqlo in Tokyo.
