Sports Briefing | Tennis: Roger Federer Postpones Return to Competition

Roger Federer has delayed his return and plans to make his comeback from knee surgery at the Monte Carlo Masters in April. The winner of 17 Grand Slam tournament singles titles, Federer had planned to return in March at the Indian Wells Masters in California, where he has won the title four times.

But in a Facebook post on Friday, Federer said, “As it is a long year, I don’t want to push it too hard and come back too soon.”

u25a0 Stan Wawrinka will play for his second title of the year when he faces Marcos Baghdatis in the final of the Dubai Tennis Championships in the United Arab Emirates.
