The post from Federer is the first training video the legend has released publicly since April, one which showed him working on movement in the gym.

The Swiss, who turned 41 earlier this month, has not played competitively since Wimbledon last year, losing in the quarter-finals to Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz.

As such, without any ranking points from the last year, Federer dropped off the rankings in the middle of July after this year’s Wimbledon, leaving him to rely on wildcards or protected ranking entries should he make a competitive return.
