  • Swiss legend and 17-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer says he is excited to turn out for the UAE Royals in the International Premier Tennis League (IPTL) and compete in next week's Dubai leg at the Dubai Tennis Stadium.

    The 34-year-old believes the end-of-season exhibition-style event serves as perfect preparation before he heads Down Under and chases another Australian Open title in January.
