To aspire to a career in high -level sport over time, having an efficient medical staff is a necessity. During his active period, Roger Federer was relatively spared by injuries until 2016. This year, in February, the Swiss maestro is the victim of a tear at the Menisc of the left knee. A knee in delicacy which will never leave it quiet, precipitating its withdrawal from the courts in 2022.
Before this incident, medical reports from the former world number 1 are almost empty. An anomaly for Tomas Perez, an official doctor on the Madrid Masters 1000 for over 20 years.
“When you participate in a tournament, it is part of the work to access the system to see the player’s previous medical information, which is transferred between all medical services. If you have eczema on the skin, they will see it here (Madrid), Rome and Roland -Garros, we always work with this continuity. I will always remember the first time that we opened Federer’s medical file … He was empty! I couldn’t believe it, then I looked back … and it was always empty! How could this man have ever had any problems? I guess he had an exceptional physiotherapist, but it was rather his thing, an extreme knowledge of his body to never push him to the limit ”said the practitioner, in an interview with Break point.
