Roger Federer listens to his body but …

Roger Federer was one of the best players on an indoor court since entering the ATP Tour. However, the Swiss had yet to achieve a remarkable result at the Paris Masters in the first five trips to the French capital, reaching just two quarter-finals between 2000-07.

After skipping the last Masters 1000 event of the season for three years in a row, Roger returned to Paris in 2007, scoring seven ATP titles earlier that year.

In his first Paris Bercy matches since 2003, Roger defeated Ivo Karlovic in three sets and battled David Nalbandian for a place in the quarters. The Argentine entered the third tournament of the Paris Masters and produced his first notable appearance, beating Roger 6-4, 7-6 in one hour and 42 minutes to enter the final eight.

David defeated Roger in Madrid and scored another victory against the best indoor player in the world, displacing the Swiss for the eighth time in 16 games. Nalbandian claimed four more points than Federer, serving just 50% and suffering two breaks.

The Argentine had 28 winners and 25 unforced errors, seizing 24 return points and turning them into three breaks to prevail in the decisive moments and put an end to Roger’s career.

Federer had zero in the opening game and hit two deuces on the return in the next. David took advantage of that game to add his name on the scoreboard and secured a break a few minutes later when Roger played a loose forehand.

In the sixth game, Nalbandian hit an ace to confirm the lead and added another serve winner to open a 4-2 gap.

Seven-time Grand Slam champion Mats Wilander feels it “is possible” for Roger Federer to return to tour after his latest knee surgery.

Speaking to Eurosport, Wilander said it was becoming “increasingly difficult” for the Swiss to recover from injuries. “I think it is possible that he will come back,” Wilander told Eurosport.

“I think if he keeps saying it himself, he obviously has his mind set on coming back. He doesn’t get tired. He listens to his body. But it’s getting more and more difficult.” Speaking to Eurosport, Wilander also said that Roger Federer is likely to work. on a tight, low-intensity schedule next season.

“I don’t think Roger Federer plays too many games on the Tour,” he said. “He realizes that he still has a chance to win, maybe not a grand slam, maybe not a final, but three or four games. I think it’s worth it to come back to his mind.”
