Fairly pessimistic interview by Roger Federer in the Swiss press today. Says he will not be at the Australian Open and that Wimbledon would be a surprise.

Federer: "The truth is I would be surprised to play Wimbledon... and Australia does not even come into play. We knew before the operation that its nature would require a months-long break."
Federer also says: "My life isn't going to collapse if I don't play a Grand Slam final again. But it would be the ultimate dream to go back. And in fact, I still believe in it. I believe in these kinds of miracles."
Worth reading the whole Roger Federer interview but the main takeaway is he still thinks he can comeback, and will keep trying even if it takes him two years, but not if it means sacrificing being able to ski or play football or tennis with his kids and friends.
The second part I think most people already knew, but the first part is interesting. The idea that Federer could go two years without a tennis match and then jump back in never really occurred to me.
