Qatar Open 2021: Roger Federer beats Dan Evans in first match since 2020 Australian Open – Sydney Morning Herald
The 20-time grand slam champion spent almost two-and-a-half hours on the court in his first match in 405 days after having knee surgery.
Doha, Qatar: After more than a year out, Roger Federer started his 24th season on tour with a win.
It was far from easy for the former No. 1, though, as he was pushed hard by Dan Evans at the Qatar Open before winning the second-round match 7-6 (10-8), 3-6, 7-5 on Wednesday.
