The Swiss Roger Federer will reappear this Wednesday at the tennis tournament in Geneva (Switzerland) two months later of his elimination in the quarterfinals in Doha.
The former world number one will face his second tournament of the course in Geneva. He will start as the first seed and will be exempt from the first round.
In the round of 16 He will face the winner of the duel between the Spanish Pablo Andújar and the Australian Jordan Thompson.
At 39, Roger Federer faces his second tournament of the year. Last March, in Doha, he reappeared on the ATP circuit after a long period of inactivity due to injury.
That was, in fact, his first appearance since the 2020 Australian Open semi-final which he lost to Serbian Novak Djokovic.
In Doha he added a victory against the British Daniel Evans in three sets, 7-6 (8), 3-6 and 7-5, before his fall in the quarterfinals against Georgian Nikoloz Basilashvili, 3-6, 6-1 and 7-5.
After the defeat, he communicated his decision to spend the next few weeks training and dropped out in Dubai.
Roger Federer himself announced on April 18 that he would play this week on clay in Geneva and the next in Paris. This first tournament, therefore, will serve as preparation for Roland Garros.
