Federer heads to Monaco

The world number two had initially left the first big clay court event of the season off his schedule but has now changed his mind.

The Swiss star told www.rogerfederer.com: “I have decided to accept a wildcard into the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters tournament that begins on Monday. I will head there this weekend to start the clay court season.”

Federer has again failed to recover his dominance of previous years and is yet to win a title this season.

Federer’s great rival Rafael Nadal will be going for a fifth straight title when play begins on Sunday.
