Daniel Evans will have the honor of facing Roger Federer for the great return from Switzerland after more than thirteen months of absence. The Briton dominated the French Jérémy Chardy, in three sets (6-4, 1-6, 6-2), in the first round of the tournament in Doha, Qatar.
Federer, seeded n ° 2 in Doha (and therefore exempted from the first round), will face the 28e world player, who has never taken a single set from him in three confrontations, all of which took place in Grand Slams.
This match, which is due to take place on Wednesday, will give indications on the fitness of Federer, who will play his first main circuit match since the Australian Open in 2020.
