After almost a year without confirming his presence in any professional event, the Swiss has announced that he will play the most important tournament in his country. That day, Nadal also announced that he would return to the courts after his rib injury.
Every time Roger Federer’s name pops up, the tennis world turns to find out what’s going on. And it is that after a year in which little or nothing was known of the Swiss star’s recovery, everyone was hoping to have confirmations for his future. Something that came out today.
The winner of 20 Grand Slams has announced he will be part of ATP Basel, his country’s most important tournament, which takes place at the end of October. Thus, “Rog” announces what will be the first event he has played since appearing at Wimbledon in July 2021 when his knee injury affects him again.
“After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the Swiss Indoors Basel will return to the ATP Tour in the fall of 2022. Ten-time singles champion and local hero Roger Federer has announced his return to the St. Jakobshalle stadium. The greatest Swiss of all time has confirmed that his initial program will include the Laver Cup in London followed by the Swiss Indoors in Basel. “, announced the event on this day, causing madness among his fans.
From now on, we do not know if this will be the first step towards a return to the circuit or the last chapter of a glorious career. With 41 years under his belt, many believe that the Laver (organized by his company) and the ATP Basel could be the perfect farewell for a Roger who still does not know if he will be able to play at Wimbledon. .
Nadal also announces that he is returning to the circuit
But the same day Federer confirmed his return, Nadal also told the world that he would compete again. He will do so at the Masters 1000 in Madrid and after a month without being able to play due to a rib injury.
“Even if I arrive just before the preparation and it’s difficult, I really want to play and play at home because the opportunities are rare. So I will try to do it in the best possible way. See you in Madrid “wrote the Spaniard in his networks.
And it is that after the Indian Wells final, Rafa could not even train normally. He just picked up a racket on April 18 and will arrive at the Magic Box without rhythm having missed the Monte-Carlo and Barcelona tournaments.
In any case, the man born in Manacor is thinking big for this brick dust tour. His presence in Madrid and Rome is given in view of Roland Garros, the big goal he has in mind. In Paris, he could win his 22nd Grand Slam and collect the most important trophy of his career. The one he won 13 times and the one Djokovic took away from him last year.
