Roger Federer is extremely keen on finally being back to competitions, and that will happen against one of his best friends on tour: Tommy Haas. Roger and Tommy have already trained together before the tournament.

Tommy has defeated Herbert in the first round 6-3 4-6 7-5 playing not a great tennis. He knows he needs something special if he wants to have a chance of beating the Swiss.

”I’m really looking forward to playing the next game against one of my closest friends,” Haas commented. ”We had many great battles in the past. He is the best player on grass in history. I’ll definitely need to play better to have a chance. But you never know what can happen.”

The head to head

Roger leads 13-3, 4-1 on grass.

Game on!
