Qatar Open: Roger Federer returns from injury layoff of over a year to face Dan Evans – Firstpost

Doha: Roger Federer played his first match for over a year on Wednesday as the Swiss 20-time Grand Slam champion returned from injury to take on British No 1 Dan Evans at the Qatar Open in Doha. Federer hasn’t played a match since a semi-final defeat by Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open in January 2020 and acknowledged it was unusual for a player of his age to return after injury. “I know it’s on the rare side for a 40-year-old to come back after a year out,” he said at a media briefing in the Qatari capital Doha on Sunday. “I feel there is still something — retirement was never really on the cards.” While he was out of action, he saw Rafael Nadal equal his record Grand Slam title haul with a 13th Roland Garros triumph.
