Roger Federer Starts His Clay Season with a Win at Madrid

Madrid Masters Series 1000 - Men's 2nd Round

2 Roger Federer d Radek Stepnaek - 63 63

Not only a winning start to his clay season but also his title defence.

Remember: Roger was the champion on that goofy blue clay last year.

It's a good time in tennis to be over 30:

[It's] nice to have that generation of players next to you.

Because if I [were] the only guy over 30, it would feel a bit awkward,

to be honest. But I'm not… it's definitely inspiring seeing all

the other players, many guys over 30 years old,

still playing on Tour and playing well.
