Invited for the Basel ATP tournament which will begin on October 24, Roger Federer judged that “it was too early” to return immediately to his land.
We will still have to wait to find Roger Federer on a tennis court. Invited for the next ATP tournament in Basel (October 24-30), his hometown, the man with 20 Grand Slams declined the offer. “ I tried to digest everything that happened lately. The house party in Basel will have a very special meaning and, for me, it comes too soon after London,” Roger Federer told the Tages-Anzeiger.
A decision respected by Roger Brennwald, the tournament director: “ We would have liked to celebrate Roger’s years of success in our tournament, but we understand that after the beautiful end of his career, Roger needs more time. »
Roger Federer, the most successful player in the history of the tournament with 10 victories, may return home in a future edition.
