Roger Federer is withdrawing from this month’s Miami Open so he can spend extra time preparing to “work his way back out on tour,” his agent told The Associated Press on Monday. Federer also had been on the entry list for the Masters 1000 stop in Miami, where play starts on March 24. “After Doha and maybe Dubai, (Federer) will go back and do a training block to continue to slowly work his way back out on tour,” Godsick wrote. Miami Open tournament director James Blake said he hopes Federer will return in 2021 to an event he has won four times, including two years ago. ___Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...
