“It is with great regret that I am withdrawing from the inaugural ATP Cup event,” said Federer.
“When I entered the event last month, it was a really difficult decision because it meant less time at home with the family and a fully intense start to the season.
“After much discussion with both my family and my team about the year ahead, I have decided that the extra two weeks at home will be beneficial for both my family and my tennis.
“It pains me to not be a part of the most exciting new event on the calendar, but this is the right thing to do if I want to continue to play for a longer period of time on the ATP Tour.
“I am sorry for any inconvenience or disappointment my withdrawal may cause for the fans, but I hope you can understand why I made it.
“For my Australian fans, I look forward to seeing you all at the Australian Open, fresh and ready to go.”
このATPカップは盛り上がるんじゃないかな？って思っていましたが、フェデラーがいないと…
団体戦は面白いですからね…
パリに続いて悲しいですが、38歳という年齢を考えると、致し方ないのかな？とも思います。
