Roger Federer withdraws from Rogers Cup with longevity in mind
July 23, 2018 SPORTING NEWS
World No. 2 Roger Federer has withdrawn from the Rogers Cup in a bid to ease
his schedule.
Federer has twice won the tournament and reached the final last year in
Montreal, but he will not participate in its latest edition in August in
Toronto.
A quarterfinalist at Wimbledon, Federer, who turns 37 on Aug. 8, said in a
release the decision was made with his longevity at the top of the game in
mind.
"I had a fantastic time in Montreal last year and always enjoy playing in
front of the Canadian fans," Federer said. "But unfortunately, with
scheduling being the key to my longevity moving forward, I have regrettably
decided to withdraw from Toronto this year."
Federer, who has played in just seven events in 2018, will look to end a
10-year wait for a sixth U.S. Open title in September
