Roger Federer’s sensational matches against the Austrian, Dominic Thiem and the Frenchman, Gael Monfils thrilled the audience in Caja Magica, but it was distressing for his Spanish fans as they couldn’t see Roger Federer play after the quarterfinal round.

Nevertheless, continuing with his European clay season, Roger Federer had decided to feature at the Italian Open 2019. The Swiss tennis ace was skeptical about his presence in Rome right after his loss to Thiem in Madrid, but later he made his mind to defend the Italian title which Roger Federer has never won before.
