Roger Federer won his only Olympic gold when he partnered Stanislas Wawrinka to victory in the doubles in Beijing in 2008 AFP/PHILIPPE HUGUENGENEVA: Roger Federer said Friday that athletes need a firm decision on whether the Tokyo Olympics are going ahead, with the tennis star saying he was in two minds over the Games.
