The 19-time Grand Slam champion will return to Montreal for the first time
since 2011
Tennis Canada announced Tuesday that Swiss Roger Federer has confirmed he
will play in the 2017 edition of Rogers Cup presented by National Bank. It
will be his first trip to Montreal since 2011.
“I’m happy to be coming back to Montreal, as I have not had the chance to
play there for many years,” said Federer. “This 2017 season has been very
exciting and I am really looking forward to being back on the court on the
ATP Tour.”
To date, the 2017 season has been a memorable one for Federer, highlighted by
the 18th and 19th Grand Slam titles of his career at the Australian Open and
Wimbledon. Currently ranked no. 3 in the world, he was also crowned champion
at Indian Wells, Miami, and Halle.
“We are obviously very happy to announce the return of the great Roger
Federer, said Eugène Lapierre, Tournament Director of Rogers Cup presented
by National Bank. “We are celebrating today and the celebrations will
continue over the next few days especially since Federer will celebrate his
birthday with us on August 8. I am certain that the Montreal fans will give
him the welcome he deserves.”
Federer will be seeking his third Rogers Cup title, and first in Montreal. He
won the tournament in Toronto in 2004 and 2006.
