“An ideal test that I failed”

The 39-year-old Swiss lost on Tuesday in the round of 1 in Geneva in the first game after a break of more than two months against the Spaniard Pablo Andujar after 54:4 hours with 6,6:4,4:6:XNUMX. The long-time world number one, whose big goal for the season is the grass Grand Slam tournament at Wimbledon, had a bye in the first round. After losing the first set, Federer got into the game better and managed a quick break, which he held until the end of the set. With a precise forehand he secured the set equalizer. At the beginning of the third round, Federer also took the lead with a break to 3-1. But then the 20-time Grand Slam winner's strength weakened and the mistakes piled up. After he was able to confidently fend off the Spaniard's first two match points, Federer's unfortunate forehand landed out of bounds on the third. The goal is lawn season “The game was an ideal test that I failed. I also beat myself up with mistakes and wrong decisions. “My game was up and down,” Federer summed up. The fluctuations were strange, but not surprising. The French Open in Paris is therefore just a stopover on the way to the big highlight of the season. “My season only starts on grass. Roland Garros is not the goal and cannot be the goal at the level I am at the moment. The goal is the grass.” Federer recently celebrated his comeback at the tournament in Doha in March after a break of more than a year due to two knee operations. The 20-time Grand Slam champion was eliminated in the second round. He then withdrew again and continued to work on his fitness in training.
