Roger Federer will miss the rest of the season, including the Rio Olympics and US Open.

The 34-year-old said he had been advised not to play again this year in order to fully recover from the knee surgery he had in February.

" 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," the 17-time grand slam champion said on his official Facebook page.
