Roger Federer gives injury update after French Open win

Photo/AFP Roger Federer has insisted he is 100 per cent fit after coming through his opening match at the French Open. The Swiss beat Lorenzo Sonego 6-2 6-4 6-4. “I woke up stiff and had some back and leg stuff. And I just didn’t want to take a chance,” he told Tennis Channel presenters Brett Haber and Jim Courier. “When Ivan came to the room he said ‘how do you feel’? I was like ‘OK’. And he’s like ‘remember the priority is the French Open’. “I was like ‘yes [but] I can play one match’. But I really didn’t want to have a major setback and I want to be 100 per cent for the French Open. I knew if I pulled the plug in Rome, which I really never do, I thought we will do this one time in my career and take a precautionary move. “That’s why I’m 100 per cent now, I’m totally fine. “I was a bit worried if I played a brutal match against Tsitsipas that I would lose days, weeks and it would drag into another. I know that when you get older problems stay around for much longer so I have to be very careful. It was a tough decision for me.” Federer will next play Oscar Otte in the French Open on Wednesday.
