PARIS - Roger Federer could end his French Open career which has stretched over four decades with an injury-enforced withdrawal on Sunday as the 39-year-old rests his weary bones for an assault on his primary objective, a ninth Wimbledon title.
"I don't know if I am going to play," said Federer who was always likely to be playing his last French Open. Federer is playing only his third tournament since last year's Australian Open and has always said Wimbledon is his main goal.He is also scheduled to play the warm-up grass court tournament in Halle beginning on June 14, the day after the French Open ends.
After Naomi Osaka's shock withdrawal, Simona Halep missing the event through injury and early losses for Bianca Andreescu and Angelique Kerber, none of the players who have beaten Williams in Grand Slam finals since her last title at the 2017 Australian Open are still in the competition. "I've had a rough clay court season thus far, so I'm happy to get some wins on the clay," Williams said after beating fellow American Danielle Collins in round three.
