The news is from the last hours and can give hope to millions of fans, Roger Federer could leave Doha. The Swiss, after training in Dubai with Ljubicic in December, would have the goal of the Doha tournament for his return to the field.
The news comes directly from Richard Krajicek, director of the ATP 500 tournament in Rotterdam, who said: “As far as I know, Roger will play in Doha the week after Rotterdam. However, if he is ready and fit to play, only he can tell us. “
After rumors of an early retirement, fans can breathe a sigh of relief. The Swiss master is getting closer to returning to the field. March is probably the right time.
In fact, the ATP has scheduled eight events and one of them may be the good one. After more than twelve months and the last semifinal played at the Australian Open 2020, the Swiss could participate in the Dubai and Doha tournaments.
If his physical conditions allow, he could join Nadal at the start of the tournament in Rotterdam. Director Krajicek hopes to bring Roger back to Holland, a place that brings back fond memories for the Swiss.
Federer has triumphed there three times: the first in 2005, the second in 2008 and the third in 2018. The latter allowed him for the last time to return to the first place in the world at 36 years old.
Roger Federer on his life off the tennis court
Over the years, Roger Federer has maintained a great association with the various brands he supports.
In 2018, he ended his long-standing association with ‘Nike’, to sign with the Japanese brand ‘Uniqlo’ The details of his deal with them reportedly amounted to a staggering $ 300 million over 10 years.
Giving a better perspective, the Swiss superstar said: “You can’t have a career as long as mine unless you stay active. On the court, you see me playing tennis for 20 years. But off the court, I’m chasing my kids every day.
But it is an active life that I lead, I think a healthy life. Those clothes became light and comfortable, simple. I love putting it on and it feels perfect right away ”. In the final season, Roger ended his season early after his semi-final outing at the Australian Open.
He then underwent knee surgery for the second time during his career. The tennis season was also on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic.
