Tennis star Roger Federer is slowly regaining his top form after missing action for more than a year following two knee operations

Roger Federer will kickstart his clay court campaign in the Geneva Open next month as he steps up his preparations for the French Open, the 39-year-old Swiss wrote on Twitter on Sunday, April 18.

After missing more than a year following two knee operations, Federer returned on Tour in the Qatar Open, where he suffered a quarterfinal defeat to Nikoloz Basilashvili of Georgia last month.

The 20-time Grand Slam champion then withdrew from the Dubai tournament in order to train and prepare going forward.

“Happy to let you know that I will play Geneva and Paris. Until then I will use the time to train. Can’t wait to play in Switzerland again,” Federer, whose only French Open triumph came in 2009, said on Twitter.

The Geneva ATP 250 event is scheduled to run from May 16 to 22, while the French Open begins on May 30 in Paris. – Rappler.com
