Roger Federer the current World number five & 18-time Grand Slam winner has made the decision to miss the French Open & the rest of the clay-court season. This is an attempt to continue on the ATP Tour for many years to come & recognises that careful scheduling will be the key to his longevity. Federer who won his first Grand Slam in 5 years when he won the Australian Open back in January, will now turn his focus to the grass court season & will surely be one of the favourites for the Wimbledon title.
