Federer Poses With Dubai Trophy
Reigning champion Roger Federer posed for photographs with his Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships trophy at the Jumeirah Creekside Hotel, the official tournament hotel, earlier this week.
The Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships was presented the ATP World Tour 500 Tournament of the Year award on Monday night for the ninth time in 10 years.
Federer admitted, “This tournament is well run, they care about the players, the fans and the media, which is really nice. It’s very prestigious now and everyone who comes here really enjoys it.”
Federer, the second seed at the tournament, was stretched to three sets in his opening match Monday night against Tunisian wild card Malik Jaziri, 5-7 6-0 6-2, and will meet either Marcel Granollers or Albert Montanes in the second round.
