South America is history, for Roger Federer now once the tennis holidays are on. The next tournament, in which the 38-year-old will compete, is only in late January in Melbourne, his participation in the ATP Cup Federer has taken back. At the end of December, the Swiss will revive the show fight marathon with Alexander Zverev in China, otherwise the coming week will be marked by regeneration and the family.
What is urgently advisable with regard to the plans for 2020: As in this year, Roger Federer will also try on sand in the coming season, as he confirmed in a press conference a few days ago. In 2019 he started in Madrid, where he lost in the quarterfinals despite match balls against Dominic Thiem. In Rome, Federer defeated Borna Coric after a great comeback, then withdrew from the tournament. At the French Open, it was enough for the semi-finals, where Federer was defeated in adverse circumstances Rafael Nadal. Nevertheless, the 20-time major winner at these three events got the competitive edge that almost gave him his ninth win at Wimbledon.
Federer at the Olympics not fix
Whether it will be Madrid and Rome again, Federer was open, according to forbes.com . "I will not play the entire clay court season. I will take some time to rest and then prepare for the big swing with the French Open, Wimbledon, and then Olympia and the US Open. I'm looking forward to it. "He hopes that, as Federer continues, he will be through the coming year just as injury-free as he is through the season just ended.
Incidentally, the Olympic Games are not officially in the towel yet. After all, Roger Federer has since played no Davis Cup victory alongside Stan Wawrinka in 2014 in Lille for the Swiss selection. And thus misses the specifications of the ITF. The World Federation could, however, let Federer start with a special permit. It will probably be decided in the coming year.
