3 reasons why Roger Federer will retire in 2020

#2 Federer confirms that he will most probably be playing the clay court swing in 2019

Federer set to return to the red dirt after 3 years

Federer, who has not played any of the clay court tournaments for 3 years now, seems to have included the clay court swing on his calendar this year. An official statement would come from him only after Indian Wells and Miami, depending on how his body feels after but there seems to be strong interest especially in Barcelona and Rome ahead of Roland Garros '19.

Federer who is known to not play his strongest tennis in clay courts is also known to love stages like Paris. The limited schedule in the past years has forced him to drop out of the clay courts but the urge to play once more under the Paris sun could be further indication that this might be the last opportunity around this path.

Federer last played in Roland Garros against Stanislas Wawrinka back in 2015.
