In Tennis Today, Italian official hopes Roger Federer will compete on the clay in Rome one last time while Maria Sharapova continues her fitness drills.

What’s on the site
Why is Roger Federer returning to clay, why did he stop, and what tournaments will he play? We know you have all these questions, so we have come up with some answers.

She started the year outside the world top 100, but after winning the Indian Wells Masters it is no surprise to see teenager Bianca Andreescu adjust her goals.

Results round-up:
ATP Marrakesh
ATP Houston
WTA Lugano

What’s in the news
Italian tennis chief Angelo Binaghi has not given up hope of luring Roger Federer to play in the Internazionali BNL d’Italia before he retires.

If you read our feature at the top, you will know that Federer is making his return to clay this year, but he isn’t expected to play at the Italian Open.

Binaghi, though, is quoted as saying by La Gazzetta dello Sport, translated by Express Sport: “We keep our fingers crossed.

“This is the only big tournament that Federer has not won.”

As you know by now, The Daily Star is a MASSIVE Eugenie Bouchard fan, but they have been a little low on the Genie content in recent weeks.

But they are back with “Eugenie Bouchard reveals fellas’ OUTRAGEOUS chat-up line as she hunts for dream man”.

What’s on social media
Roger Federer is backing Adam Scott for the Masters and his man was tied sixth after day one at Augusta.
