Roger Federer Sidelined by Lung Infection
Feb. 21 -- World number one Roger Federer has pulled out of the ATP Dubai Championships due to an internal infection.
According to ATP official Stephen Duckett, Federer has a lung infection and was advised by a doctor not to play for a fortnight.
The Swiss star has not been in tournament action since defeating Britain's Andy Murray in the final of the Australian Open earlier this month, his 16th Grand Slam title.
Federer, who has won the Dubai title four times, will rest for the next two weeks and is expected to return to the ATP Tour in Indian Wells from March 11.
Defending champion Novak Djokovic and world number four Murray are among the players competing at the $2 million hardcourt event.
Roger Federer DVDs carries complete match DVDs, such as his historic win in the 2009 Wimbledon tournament, in which he broke the record for most Grand Slam victories, or his classic win over Rafael Nadal in 2007, as well as many other major title wins.
