Hi everyone! Happy to let you know that I will play Geneva🇨🇭 and Paris 🇫🇷. Until then I will use the time to train. Can’t wait to play in Switzerland again. ❤️🚀
The 2009 Roland Garros champion Roger Federer will compete at Roland Garros this year, adding the season's second Major to his clay swing after previously signing to play at home in Geneva.
Geneva and Paris will be Roger's only ATP tournaments on clay this spring, withdrawing from Madrid and Rome and focusing on these two events ahead of the grass swing that will be shorter than usual this year. Roger had to skip all the last year's action after the Australian Open, struggling with a knee injury and undergoing surgeries in February and May.
In October, the 20-time Major champion hit the practice court and worked hard on his game in the upcoming months, eager to compete again and reach his best ahead of Wimbledon.
Federer made a long-awaited return in Doha in March after skipping the Australian Open, beating Daniel Evans and wasting a match point against Nikoloz Basilashvili in the quarters. Skipping Dubai and Miami, Federer took some time to figure out his next steps and the clay swing, opting for Geneva and Paris and hoping to build form ahead of the All England Club.
