"Dear Fans,

I’m extremely disappointed to announce that I will not be able to represent Switzerland at the Olympic Games in Rio and that I will also miss the remainder of the season. Considering all options after consulting with my doctors and my team, I have made the very difficult decision to call an end to my 2016 season as I need more extensive rehabilitation following my knee surgery earlier this year. The doctors advised that if I want to play on the ATP World Tour injury free for another few years, as I intend to do, I must give both my knee and body the proper time to fully recover. It is tough to miss the rest of the year. However, the silver lining is that this experience has made me realize how lucky I have been throughout my career with very few injuries. The love I have for tennis, the competition, tournaments and of course you, the fans remains intact. I am as motivated as ever and plan to put all my energy towards coming back strong, healthy and in shape to play attacking tennis in 2017.

Thanks for your continued support.

Roger"

Hopefully he comes back strong in 2017. I would like to see him make one more run for a major.

Yeah, me too. I think he's got a good two years left in him.

But I'm concerned he's not going to get that one more major. When Djokovic was knocked out of Wimbledon early, that was Fed's big chance. If he'd have made the final, I would've backed him to beat Murray.

After he beat Cilic I thought it was going to be his year, but then faltered while ahead of Raonic. 17 may end up being his final count, but I would love to see him make a run or two at 18.
