British tennis legend Tim Henman has claimes Roger Federer will be hungry for success when he makes his highly-anticipated return to the court later this month at the Qatar Open. Federer has not played a competitive match for over a year. “His old level is so high, he's not going to come back just to be making up the numbers,” Henman told Forbes. “He wants to be back competing to win the biggest and best tournaments. And that's not going to get any easier as you get close to your 40th birthday. But he's working incredibly hard, I'm sure.” Federer is widely regarded as one of the finest talents to have ever stepped onto a professional court. Henman continued, going as far to say that Federer could even be the greatest player in the history of the game. “For me, he's the most mesmerizing player we have probably ever had in our sport,” added Henman. “Tennis is blessed with some huge icons of the sport and of sport. Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, Serena Williams, they as big a star as you can get. So we're fortunate, but they're not going to be around forever. So it's important that we do enjoy them while they're still competing.”
