GENEVA (AP) ā€” Roger Federer says he does not expect to return from his latest knee surgery in time to play at next year’s Wimbledon tournament. The 40-year-old Federer says “the truth is that Iā€™d be incredibly surprised to play Wimbledon.ā€ The grass-court tournament at the All England Club starts on June 27. Federer has not played on tour since a straight-set loss in the Wimbledon quarterfinals in July. He underwent his third knee surgery in 18 months a short time later. Federer says there was never a possibility of playing at the Australian Open in January in the first Grand Slam tournament of the season.
