Federer returns on opening day at Roland Garros

Roger Federer can be equally dangerous with his topspin or his slice backhand, which can be an effective weapon on clay.

“I’m very happy to be back, maybe a tiny bit more because when I have missed the last three editions, and when you miss something in life, you’re happy to be back there again.” “Centre court looks very different. There has been a lot of upgrades and investments made,” Federer said.A connoisseur of style, Federer will no doubt be interested to see the brand new Court Simonne Mathieu — set in the picturesque Serres d’Auteuil botanical gardens and flanked by greenhouses containing rare and exotic plants.

Germany’s Kerber is seeking to win the only Grand Slam to elude her and is one of several women that could take over as world number one at the end of the French Open.
