The Swiss decides to withdraw from the tournament due to physical exhaustion, at the gates of the round of 16 against Berrettini


Roger Federer hinted at it the night before, when he graciously attended to the journalists at one thirty in the morning, after beating Dominik Koepfer in a duel that got him more tangled than desired and that lasted for three and a half hours: “ I still need to decide whether to keep playing or not, if this is the right way to end the tournament. "

And he communicated it this Sunday afternoon, through a statement issued by the organization: “I have decided to abandon the tournament.

It is important to listen to my body ”.

The 39-year-old Swiss will not play the round of 16 match against Italian Matteo Berretini.
