Roger Federer is in Estoril looking to reignite his off-form play of late.
He started the year perfectly by winning the Australian Open in January.
But he been shown the door before the quarters at every tournament since.
All of which happened to be Masters events: Indian Wells, Miami & Rome.
The man is in serious need of a confidence boosting week in Portugal.
And he should get it - there is only one other top ten player in the draw.
And he, Nikolay Davydenko, is returning from an injury break.
I would guess that Roger should easily pick up this title...
Hell, the #4 seed is ranked #31 - surely Roger is the fish fish here.
But if he fails to make at least the semi's the man is in some deep doo-doo.
