Roger Federer will commence his comeback facing Daniel Evans in the 2nd round in Doha on Wednesday at 6 pm. It’s interesting that the 20-time slam champion is used to practice a lot with Evans and therefore they know each other pretty well.

Training with Federer

During a recent interview, Daniel explained that training with Federer is nothing incredibly more different than training with other players, with the obvious difference that the level is much higher.

It’s been normal. Two blokes having a practice. It’s obvious to say he works hard. Some days we practiced 3 hours, other days an hour and a half, it’s been like most tennis players really. Obviously, the level is a lot higher than most,” said Daniel.
