“My main priority now is to fix my back. I am disappointed not to be playing in Montreal next week. It is a great tournament with amazing fans. I look forward to competing there in the future,” said Federer on his facebook page.

The 31-year-old had revealed last week that the back issue was getting pretty worse.

He said: “I’ve had serious problems with the back. I had to get some anti-inflammatories last week in Hamburg due to the pain. I will have to do a lot of exercises and see how it all feels.”
