Roger Federer reveals he injured himself while preparing bath for his twin daughters

Roger Federer returned to action in the ongoing Miami Open

Swiss tennis ace Roger Federer has said he suffered a knee injury in January while preparing a bath for his twin daughters.

The 17-time Grand Slam winner needed arthroscopic surgery and has made a return at the Miami Open this week.

"I was going to run a bath for the girls. I made a very simple movement, turned back, heard a click in my knee. I went to the zoo. My leg was swollen," Federer was quoted as saying by BBC on Thursday.

The 34-year-old said he was disappointed that he had to undergo an operation.

"I thought I was going to get through my career without any. It was a big shock and, yeah, disappointing," said the Swiss, who is set to lock horns against Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro in Round 2 here.
