Roger Federer confirmed on Monday that he will take part  in this year's French Open as he resumes his return from injury.

Federer, 39, is making his comeback after two knee operations, as he has not played a Grand Slam since January 2020.

The 20-time Grand Slam winner made his return after being out for 14 months  at last month's Qatar Open but has not played since.

On Sunday, he said will play the clay-court Geneva Open in May followed by Roland Garros, which begins on 30 May.

Federer, who claimed his only French Open title in 2009, defeated  Britain's Dan Evans in his comeback match in Doha last month but was then beaten by Nikoloz Basilashvili in the next round.
