Top 10 Reasons Roger Federer Had Knee Surgery

5. It’s rough on the old joints when you’re constantly kneeling before Djokovic in five-set Slam matches.

Oh…oh my. The Djokovic Fans have struck again! We promise, dear Fed fans who love our website…this matter has been dealt with!!

Okay, move along, move along, please.

4. Honestly, maybe he was just too embarrassed to say that he tore his meniscus climbing into his 4×4 “pick-em-up-truck.”

3. Or perhaps Rog just got totally tired of commentators telling the same old (untrue) story that “Federer NEVER gets injured.”

Of course we know they’ll still be saying HE NEVER GOT INJURED UNTIL THIS SHOCKING KNEE SURGERY. *sigh*

2. Roger thought the surgery was worth it, just so he could say that at 34-years-old, and following knee surgery, he’s still fucking closer to Nole than Tomic is to a Slam.

BUT NO, REALLY….the NUMBER 1 REASON ROGER FEDERER HAD KNEE SURGERY IS:

1. God remembered there’s that thing in the bylaws about worshiping false idols so he felt he had to remind everyone that Roger Federer is, in fact….mortal.

We know, Rog. It hurts us, too.

So there you have it, people. The Top 10 REAL REASONS Roger Federer had knee surgery.

Whatever the reasons…we wish the Maestro a speedy recovery!! And while we wait impatiently for his happy return, we hope he won’t rush things and risk any further injury to a body that is precious to so many…for so many reasons. *eyedart*

 

I hope that surgeon realized he was working on the legs of a god….you gotta sprinkle some magic fairy dust back in before you stitch up.
