Roger Federer to play in the Laver Cup

Swiss tennis legend Roger Federer has confirmed his participation in this year’s laver cup. The former world number 1 who will turn 41 in August, has been away from the tennis court since July last year. Earlier this year, the Swiss maestro confirmed his plans to join hands with world number 4 Rafael Nadal to play for the team Europe.

Even though the 40-year-old is not at his peak fitness, he looks optimistic about his return. Revealing the reason behind choosing the Laver cup as his comeback tournament, the former world number 1 said, “Laver cup is a good start. I don’t have to play five matches in six days.”

Notably, the 20-time Grand Slam champion went through yet another knee surgery which has kept him out of action for over a year. Looking at his age it is a wise decision for Federer to take it slow rather than rushing to more demanding tournaments.
