Roger Federer will start his campaign in Dubai against world no.55 Mikhail Youzhny. The Swiss has a solid 15-0 win/loss record against Mikhail Youzhny and he has dropped just 4 sets in their encounters.

Roger will try to win his 7th title in Dubai to share also some thoughts about his fans “I’m growing a great fan base all around the world. I feel very welcome. Every tournament seems to want me there. It fills me with great joy. If you have something you really enjoy doing, why give that up? I feel I can still play with the best and when you win titles things get simpler again.”

The match is scheduled at 7pm local time.

Prediction: Federer in 3 sets (Roger a bit rusty?)

Game on!
