Federer Returns To Clay-court in Madrid

By Ogon Vanessa

Roger Federer will play in the Madrid Open in May as part of his clay-court comeback.

Federer has not played in the clay-court season since 2016, but the 20-time grand slam champion revealed after his Australian Open exit that he plans to grace the red surface this year.
The former world number one has confirmed he will return to the Caja Magica as he steps up his preparation for what is set to be his first French Open appearance since 2015.
"Federer is one of the best players of all time, it's no secret," said Madrid Open director Feliciano Lopez, who is relishing a stellar line-up featuring Federer's great rivals Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal.
