The 20-time Major champion Roger Federer shared a video with his fans on Instagram, practicing on clay ahead of the Geneva Open that takes place in two weeks.
Geneva Open occurs two weeks ahead of Roland Garros, with enough time for Roger to compete at both events and not risk anything ahead of his beloved grass swing. Struggling with a knee injury, Federer underwent two surgeries last year, skipping the entire season after the Australian Open and making a long-awaited return this March in Doha after being sidelined for 13 months.
Roger defeated Daniel Evans in Doha before losing to Nikoloz Basilashvili after squandering a match point, taking more time off the court and skipping the Miami Open, Monte Carlo, Rome and Madrid. Roger will return to the court at the home ATP 250 event in Geneva, returning to one of his favorite cities where he celebrated the Laver Cup title with Team Europe in 2019.
After Rome 2016, Federer didn't play on clay for the next two years, skipping three Roland Garros events and returning to the slowest surface in the spring of 2019. Federer competed in Madrid and Rome before heading to Paris and achieving another notable Roland Garros result, reaching the semis and losing to Rafael Nadal in straight sets.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
