Federer missed the clay tournament in the previous two seasons, and the last time he played on this floor in May 2016 in Rome. He will return to red this week in the Madrid Masters series in Madrid where he has three titles in 2006, 2009 and 2012. `I`m happy with the decision I made in December when I felt like I wanted to play again in clay, I think it`s right I did not regret during my red season, I did not say:`Maybe I should not. ` I am happy to be in Madrid and I am pleased to play again on this floor, it took me a while to get used to the races, the construction of the points because red is played more than the main line, there is a possibility to lift the ball more, to use more sharp angles. but in any case too demanding, `said 37-year-old Federer.
The Swiss who won his 101th Miami a t the end of March was ranked No. 4 after the 2011 and 2016 champion and world leader Novak Djokovic (Serbia), five times winner Rafael Nadal (Spain) and defending his titleAlexander Zverev (Germany). `It will be intriguing for me to play in the tournament, and I have no great expectations at all, but at the same time I know that everything is possible. ` The courts in Madrid are a bit faster, and it will be interesting to see how things will develop`, he said.
Federer starts directly from the second round, which is expected to win the match by contacts with basketball picks between Richard Gasque (France) and Spanish teenager Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, who played last weekend in Estoril.
