Feliciano Lopez is a happy guy right now. Even if the Spaniard has crashed out the top100, he is in a fantastic mood since he managed to have Roger Federer back on clay in Madrid where he is the tournament director.
The Swiss sensation is back to play on the dirt after 3 years, and he chose Madrid for his return grabbing all sort of attention from the media.
Federer, Djokovic, Nadal playing together is great news
“I was not involved in his decision about coming to Madrid. That was his personal decision with his team as well.
We are very lucky he decided to be back on the clay and be back in Madrid. I think he’s been away from this clay season two or three years and we really feel very proud to have him right here, to begin with.
It’s an honour for the match to have Roger back, as you possibly can think about. He determined to play the French Open once more this 12 months so he may need thought he wanted one other additional week on clay and I believe he felt Madrid is the appropriate alternative for him, no?
He played great here in the past, he had some great memories from Madrid. The conditions here are good for his tennis, that’s one more reason. We’re very joyful to have him right here.
To have also Rafa and Novak, the ‘Big Three’ in a single week is sort of unattainable these days so it’s actually excellent news.”
Federer will be seeded no.4 in Madrid and the draw will be compiled on Saturday. That is going to be interesting.
HAPPY TO HAVE ROGER AROUND?
