Less than 3 months before turning 38, Roger Federer has simply been turning back the clock. Playing on the merciless red dirt of Roland Garros, the 2009 champion has looked way younger than his actual age.
The third seed cruised through his first round, dropping 10 games in total, which thoroughly established that the Swiss maestro has completely recovered from the leg injury that bothered him after a day of grueling matches in Rome and forced him to withdraw from the quarter-finals of the Italian Masters.
Back in Paris for the first time since 2015, the former World No. 1 looked to be enjoying himself on the red dirt once again, a surface where he has had to endure some of his toughest losses to his nemesis, Rafael Nadal.
Federer can meet his greatest rival once again if both reach the semi-finals and fans are eagerly waiting for that. But before that, the Swiss needs to take care of World No. 144 Oscar Otte of Germany who is a qualifier at the French Open this year. The German mostly plies his trade on the Challenger circuit and a meeting with Federer on Court Philippe Chatrier should be the biggest match of his life.
It is expected to be an overwhelming occasion for Otte and Federer should be having it easy as he sets his sights on a third-round berth.
