Roger Federer makes finishing touches ahead of Doha return

The 39-year-old Roger Federer works hard on his long-awaited return in ten days at the ATP 250 event in Doha, competing at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open for the first time since 2012.

Roger hasn't played since the last year's Australian Open, experiencing a knee injury and undergoing two surgeries in February and May. After the second, the Swiss decided to forget about 2020 and focus on the new season, returning in Doha and Dubai and hoping to hit the form again by Wimbledon.
