“My right knee has been bothering me for a little while,” Federer announced on Twitter. “I hoped it would go away, but after an examination, and discussion with my team, I decided to have arthroscopic surgery in Switzerland yesterday. After the procedure, the doctors confirmed that it was the right thing to have done and are very confident of a full recovery.
“As a result, I will unfortunately have to miss Dubai, Indian Wells, Bogota, Miami and the French Open. I am grateful for everyone’s support. I can’t wait to be back playing again soon, see you on the grass!”
The 38-year-old, who reached the Australian Open semi-finals (l. to Djokovic) last month, also underwent arthroscopic left knee surgery on 3 February 2016, limiting him to seven tournaments that season.

4 months is an awful long drought without Roger in the draw, but I would rather he's back to 100% healthy so he can play for a few more years.
And the last time he had arthroscopic knee surgery he came back after a 6 month break and won 2 Grand Slams.
I would not mind that happening again.
Strange how this happened the same month as 4 years ago, just at the end of February instead of the start.
Get well soon Roger!. The tennis world is going to miss you.
