Roger
Federer has returned to the practice courts just three weeks after undergoing
surgery to his right knee.
The
world No 3 has not played since suffering a torn meniscus the day after his
Australian Open semi-final defeat to Novak Djokovic in January and had surgery
to correct the problem in February.
That
operation appears to have been a success because the 34-year-old took to
Twitter to reveal his delight at being back in training, writing: “Rarely felt
so happy being back on a practice court”.
The
injury forced Federer out of the World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam and the
Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.
His
next scheduled tournament is the Indian Wells Masters on March 10, although he
has not confirmed his inclusion in the event.
