At 13:56, the ATP announced that Roger Federer would not play his quarter-final against Stefanos Tsitsipas . "I'm disappointed that I can't play today," Federer said.
Federer physically not at 100 percent
"I am not physically at 100 percent, and after consulting with my team, we decided that I would not play. Rome has always been one of the cities I loved to play in. I hope that I will play next year come back here. "
This gives Tsitsipas an unexpected day of rest, which the Greek can use after the efforts in Madrid last week. He is waiting for the winner of the game between Rafael Nadal and Fernando Verdasco. For Roger Federer, it will continue in just over a week at the Stade Roland Garros at the French Open.
