World number three Tennis player Roger Federer has pulled out of the world Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam and the Dubai Championship after having an arthroscopic knee surgery. The 34-year-old 17-times Grand Slam champion had the surgery in his native Switzerland to repair a torn meniscus after he injured himself during his four-set Australian Open semi-final defeat by Djokovic last week.
Federer won the Grand Slam at Wimbledon in 2012, is the reigning champion in Dubai, and has won the Rotterdam twice.
"My doctors have assured me the surgery was a success and, with proper rehabilitation, I will be able to return to the Tour.
