JAKARTA - Laver Cup 2022 will be Roger Federer's tournament before retiring. However, bad news approached his fans.

Federer could have missed the tournament. In fact, many fans have paid £15 thousand or equivalent to Rp256 million to buy tickets to the last tournament of the Swiss player.

Previously, the 41-year-old was absent from the US Open 2022 because he was still struggling with a knee injury. He realized the recovery would not be a hundred percent.

For the 2022 Laver Cup, Federer has yet to decide whether he can play or not. However, he said, this is his last tournament.

This is what makes the ticket price of the tournament which takes place at the O2 Arena London soar.

If he decides to miss it, Federer will not only cancel giving final offerings to his fans. He could also lose Federer the opportunity to share the pitch for the last time with Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic.

"He will decide at the last moment," said Federer's old fitness coach, Pierre Paganini, as quoted by The Sun.

"He is trained to have as much information as possible about whether it (the performance in the Laver Cup) is a good idea or not."

The finalist of Wimbledon 2021, Matteo Berrettini, is waiting for the latest news from Federer. He became a reserve to replace Federer to appear in the tournament.
