Roger Federer has had a painful year. In July, the 35-year-old tennis champion said he would sit out the rest of the 2016 season to recuperate from knee surgery. On 22 August he posted a photo of himself on Twitter training with the comment: “Did some tennis training this week. Feeling great.”

He might be missing the US Open but he has found a way to consol himself: hiking in the Swiss mountains. On social media he posted: “Missing the US Open, but having an amazing time enjoying the Swiss mountains.”

Hopefully the healing powers of Switzerland’s outdoors will have the desired effect so that the world number 4 can grace the world’s best tennis courts again in 2017.
