Roger Federer will take part in Roland Garros. The Swiss announced with a tweet his very limited schedule for the season on red: in addition to the Parisian Grand Slam, Federer will play only one other tournament, in Geneva. “I am happy to inform you that I will play in Geneva and Paris. Until then I will use the time to train. I can't wait to play in Switzerland again, "reads the brief statement from the 20-time Grand Slam champion. Fans will therefore have to wait until the week of May 17 to see Federer back on the pitch. The most important news, however, is certainly the one concerning Roland Garros, which will be Roger’s first Grand Slam since the Australian Open 2020. The coronavirus pandemic has surely had an adverse effect on all sports including tennis. Players and fans were both in shock as they could no longer enjoy the sport completely due to many lockdown restrictions last year. However, two Italian girls found out a unique way to enjoy the sport and even managed to impress Roger Federer with their brilliant idea.

Young Carola also disclosed a promise that Roger Federer made to her

“I know I’m not good enough to become a sports professional,” said Vittoria who dreams of becoming a pharmacist in the future. In the same interview, Carola revealed that she still has all those gifts locked inside a closet that Roger Federer gave to her. “I still find it hard to believe it happened. Federer’s gifts are locked in the closet: racket, shirt, and cuffs. Woe to those who touch them,” mentioned Carola. “In five years he will come to dinner at my father’s pizzeria, here in Finale, to check my progress with English,” added Carola. Fans really took to the video of the two girls playing roof-top tennis, and it hit about six million views. As a result, Laureus has nominated their video of playing roof-top tennis with Roger Federer in the list of the best sporting moments of the year. Federer fared very well at the 2019 edition of Roland Garros. The 39-year-old defeated Lorenzo Sonego, Oscar Otte, Casper Ruud and Leonardo Mayer in the first four rounds, all in straight sets. He then met compatriot Stan Wawrinka in the quarterfinals, defeating him in four sets. Federer was eliminated by eventual champion and familiar foe Rafael Nadal in the semifinals. The final score read 6-3 6-4 6-2 in Nadal's favor, and marked the Spaniard's sixth win over Federer at Roland Garros.
