Watch: Federer Back On Clay Tuesday In Madrid; Djokovic, Ferrer In Action

Roger Federer makes his return to clay for the first time since 2016 on Tuesday night at the Mutua Madrid Open. The three-time Madrid champion awaits the winner between former World No. 7 Richard Gasquet and #NextGenATP Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, who reached his first ATP Tour semi-final last week in Estoril. Federer, 37, is playing in his first tournament since claiming his 101st career title in March at the Miami Open presented by Itau

Novak Djokovic and David Ferrer also feature on court Manolo Santana on Tuesday. Djokovic, in his 250th week at No. 1 in the ATP Rankings, faces Taylor Fritz for a second straight ATP Masters 1000 tournament. Meanwhile, former World No. 3 Ferrer begins his final tournament against fellow Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut. Ferrer leads the FedEx ATP Head2Head 2-1, though both wins came in Grand Slam action in 2013.
