Roger Federer said Friday that athletes need a firm decision on whether the Tokyo Olympics are going ahead, with the tennis star saying he was in two minds over the Games.
An Olympics singles gold medal is the only major honour missing from the Swiss great’s collection — but the 39-year-old said he would understand if the Games were called off.
The pandemic-postponed 2020 Olympics are due to open on July 23.
“It’s difficult,” Federer told Switzerland’s Leman Bleu television.
“We’re not hearing much. That makes me think the Games will happen, even if I’ve heard that lots of people in Tokyo are against the Games.”
