MELBOURNE, Australia — Roger Federer is already talking about a return to the French Open in the wake of his stunning fourth-round loss to Stefanos Tsitsipas at Melbourne Park.
Federer hasn't played on the clay of Roland Garros since his quarterfinal loss in 2015. He was injured in 2016 and skipped the clay season in each of the next two years.
Speaking in French at a news conference after his title defense ended, Federer said he felt like he wanted to play on clay.
''I'm at a moment where I think it would be nice to do it,'' the 37-year-old Federer said.
