Roger Federer's return to clay is only days away and the Swiss ace stepped out once more to finetune his game on clay.
The Swiss ace has spent the better part of the week in Geneva to thoroughly prepare for his clay season debut. It's something fans have awaited ever since he returned to tennis in Doha. His decision to skip over the majority of the clay season is something many expected so fans will wonder about his form.
The decision to take part at the Geneva Open was a sensible one for Federer ahead of the Roland Garros. It gives him enough time to prepare for the Roland Garros as well as get his fitness up for the grass-court season where he will target big results.
If you wondered how Federer looks on clay you are in luck because we have several snippets from one of his practices ahead of his return. In it you can see Federer practicing his forehand, his volleys, serve as well as movement. The knee seems to be holding up fine but the matches will determine the full picture.
We hope to see Federer do well on clay which might be a good teaser for things to come for the grass season. The competition will be a stiff one with Dimitrov and Shapovalov also attending. Federer has a 1st round BYE with a potential 2nd round matchup vs Thompson or Andujar.
