Finals, losing to Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets in the semi-final.
The Swiss star turned 38 in August but the age is just a number for
him, still being able to compete on a high level, challenge his main
rivals and keep the youngsters behind.To get more news about

After that tour with Alexander Zverev and a suitable rest, Roger went to
his second home in Dubai, as always in December, deciding to skip the
ATP Cup but shaping up his game for the Australian Open in the practice
sessions against Karen Khachanov and other rivals who were also in
Dubai.
Instead of the Hopman Cup where he competed around the new year for the
last couple of years, Roger will spend the last days of 2019 in China,
entering the Hangzhou Tmall Cup International Tennis Invitational
Tournament and signing to play there until 2023!
The "Little Lotus Flower" at the Tennis Center of Hangzhou Olympic and
International Expo Center will host Roger Federer, Alexander Zverev and
the Bryan Brothers between December 28-29, with Roger and Alexander
facing Mike and Bob on Saturday night before the main match between the
Swiss and the German on Sunday evening.
Also, Zhe Li and Runhao Hua will have the opportunity to share the court
with famous players in front of the home fans as well. Roger and
Alexander had a great time during their November swing, competing in
front of the packed crowd in Santiago, Buenos Aires, Mexico City and
Quito between November 19-24, with the canceled Bogota match ready to
rumble in March next year.
