The World No. 1, and U.S. Open runner up, arrived in Genoa, Italy today to begin practice for Switzerland’s Davis Cup World Group Playoff tie on the red clay of the 4,200-seat Valletta Cambiaso Club.
Federer joins Stansislas Wawrinka, Marco Chiudunelli, Michael Lammer and Stephane Bohli on the Swiss squad. Host Italy fields Andreas Seppi, Simone Bolelli, Fabio Fognini and Potito Starace.
It marks Federer’s first Davis Cup appearance since the 2008 World Group Playoffs when he won a singles match and partnered Stanislas Wawrinka to win the doubles in a win over Belgum. Federer owns a 35-11 Davis Cup record overall, including a 25-6 mark in singles.
