'If Roger Federer wants to chase Wimbledon, he should play on clay,' Rosset said

After returning to action for the first time in 13 months in Doha, Roger Federer is ready to chase his ninth Wimbledon title in July.

Before that, the Swiss should play a couple of tournaments on clay and Halle, shaping his game and hoping to compete at 100% at the All England Club. Roger's former doubles partner and compatriot Marc Rosset believes that Roger should play a couple of tournaments on clay and work on his game before switching to grass.

"Federer saw that maybe he lacked a bit of physical preparation, so I think it's going to be interesting for him to play as many matches as possible on clay. It will allow him to do a little basic work and get a bit of a physical fund. Wimbledon is hardly won by serving and volleying now; you have to do that from the baseline.

In 2018, Roger didn't play on clay, and he lost to Kevin Anderson at Wimbledon. So if he also wants to win Wimbledon, he will necessarily have to beat Djokovic, Nadal or other top-10 rivals, and to meet them, he will have to play these players in the Masters 1000 on clay or at Roland Garros," Marc Rosset said.
