For fans, Roger Federer‘s newest statement may seem like a grand slam…to the chest.

On Tuesday, July 13, the renowned tennis professional revealed he is no longer headed to Tokyo for the delayed summer season video games. “During the grass court season, I unfortunately experienced a setback with my knee, and have accepted that I must withdraw from the Tokyo Olympic Games,” he discussed in a statement. “I am greatly disappointed, as it has been an honor and highlight of my career each time I have represented Switzerland.”
