ATP – Monte Carlo> Franulovic (tournament director): “Federer should opt for winning straight sets events like Monte-Carlo and Rome rather than Roland-Garros”

When and where will Roger Federer return in 2022? The suspense remains after the Swiss once again underwent knee surgery. The director of the Masters 1000 de Monte ‐ Carlo,Zeljko Franulovic, thinks that on clay, the “maestro” should opt for tournaments with the best of three sets.

“I’m sure he will give everything he has to be able to make another comeback. But no one knows where he will play. However, I think on clay he should go for winning straight set events like Monte Carlo and Rome over Roland Garros. We hope to convince him to play », said the boss of the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters to Ubitennis.

Roger has missed 8 of the last 11 tournaments in the Principality. This is one of only two Masters 1000 he misses with Rome. This year, to prepare for Wimbledon, his big goal, he chose the ATP 250 in Geneva and then Roland-Garros.
