However, now Federer is ready to get back on the court. The eight-time Wimbledon champion will take part in the ATP Doha 250, which will kickstart from March 8. Federer has won the event on three occasions in 2005, 2006, and 2011. Ergo, the talisman will look to make a roaring comeback to competitive Tennis.

Apart from Federer, players like Stan Wawrinka, Dominic Thiem, and French tennis player Gael Monfils will take part in the event.

Federer has been out of action for a long time and he will look to hit the ground running. The Tennis fans across the globe will be excited to see him back in action.

Meanwhile, Federer had made a brilliant comeback from injury back in 2017 and it will be interesting to note if he would be able to replicate the same kind of performances on the court.
