Everything is still possible for Federer’s program even if the strongest and most plausible trend is that of a start in Dubai. Dubai brings together advantages in terms of logistics, organization but also at the sporting level because the field should be attractive.
However anything can still happen and Richard Krajicek prolongs the suspense especially in fact to ensure the promotion of his tournament which is not in a great financial health. because its main shareholder, the company which manages the venue, is facing a drastic drop in its turnover following the problems of Covid-19.
We also learned that in 2018, Roger Federer had come “for free”. It must be said that he had asked for a Wild Card to be able to conquer the first place in the world. Which will not be the case in February.
« I know he likes to play in Dubai ”, said the Dutchman. « In principle, this is not an obstacle. He could play in Rotterdam first, then Doha or Dubai.« commented Richard, too optimistic in our opinion.
It seems more logical to us that Roger can take care of himself, test himself, resume gently rather than impose a program that is too intense and almost useless compared to his 2021 objectives.
