Roger Federer is ahead of schedule in his recovery following arthroscopic knee surgery to repair his meniscus. The Swiss maestro will return earlier than expected, entering the Miami Open in Key Biscayne, Florida, next week.
The 17-time grand slam champion skipped tournaments in Rotterdam, Dubai, and Indian Wells. When announcing his withdrawal from the BNP Paribas Open, he stated that he would return to the ATP World Tour at the Monte Carlo tournament in April.
