“Regardless of what happens here, I just think it’s good for me to play matches at this stage,” said world number three Federer before his first match on Wednesday. He fell in the quarter-finals on Friday to Dominic Thiem, but twice held match point and for a set and a half was dominant against a player considered among the favourites for Roland Garros after Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
His arrival in the Italian capital has been a boost for organisers who doubled ticket prices after it was announced he would be playing.“They made it in a way like they rewarded the fans who bought tickets earlier, which is sort of strange.“There’s going to be good crowds hopefully, good atmosphere.Federer is in the same half of the draw as eight-time Rome winner Nadal, who is looking for his first clay title this season before his French Open title defence.
