Shanghai, Sep 24 : Swiss tennis star Roger Federer has pulled out of next month's Shanghai Masters saying that he needs necessary time to rest and recuperate after a long summer.
"I have some nagging injuries that I need to address and I look forward to returning to the ATP World Tour as soon as possible," Xinhua quoted the 30-year-old, as saying in a letter written to the organizing committee of the tournament.
Federer had played two Davis Cup singles matches and a doubles match in Australia last week just days after losing to World No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the US Open semifinals.
He further said that he looks forward to returning for the 2012 event.
"I have very fond memories of Shanghai so I will miss this amazing tournament and all my loyal Chinese fans, but I look forward to returning to China next fall," Federer said. (ANI)
