Roger Federer made a much-awaited return in Doha earlier this year after a gap of 13 months because of knee surgeries. He wasn’t comfortable on court at the Qatar Open and was knocked out in the quarter-final.
Due to lack of performance, the Swiss maestro decided to skip further tournaments and solely focus on recovery and training. He had earlier said that he is focusing the most on Tokyo Olympics and Wimbledon for the 2021 season. And hence he will play just two events on Clay this season.
Federer hasn’t competed professionally on Clay for almost 2 years having missed the entire last season. He was initially to play at the Madrid Masters and kick start his Clay season but now has decided to give himself a couple more weeks to train.
