Roger Federer to participate at Davis Cup tie vs Australia

Swiss star Roger Federer will be participating at the Switzerland vs Australia Davis Cup World Group Play-Offs from September 16 to 18, 2011. This was confirmed by Davis Cup Switzerland Team Maanger Daniel Monnin at a news conference on Tuesday. Federer is scheduled to arrive in Australia on Wednesday, September 14.

Federer will have little time to prepare for the upcoming match. The world number three reached the semifinals of the US Open 2011 tournament, where he squandered match points and eventually lost to eventual champion Novak Djokovic.
