5 Ways Roger Federer May Have Injured His Hip
Roger Federer fans were barely getting over their high from the Maestro taking the Madrid Masters title when they learned he might have to skip Rome. Looking out of sorts at the start of the final Sunday, Rog took some anti-inflammatory medication and there were murmurs of a possible hip injury. As if there weren’t enough jokes about Old Man Fed, now he’s got a hip problem? (ETA: Confirmation of hip injury here and here.)
The Swiss tennis star is not always that upfront about his injuries, at least not when there’s a tournament waiting to be played. So all we can do is speculate on the Five Possible Ways the Fed Express Could Have Injured His Hip:

3. After meeting Will Smith, he tried to get Jiggy Wit’ It.
2. Got some dangerous advice about alternate uses for that Madrid trophy…
1. Had a rough landing after his descent from Mount Olympus.
Of course, it’s always possible he hurt himself by doing stuff like this:
Whatever ails King Fed, we wish him a speedy recovery. Feel free to leave your own injury speculation in the comments, but only if it’s funny.
