Basel, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - Roger Federer is withdrawing from two tournaments after consulting with his team and doctors, he says, to let his body rest and recuperate after a tough year. He is pulling out of the Tokyo and Shanghai tournaments, in what he describes as “two of his favourite cities in the world”, after consulting with his team and doctors. In the first four hours after he posted the information on his Facebook page, more than 16,000 of his three million-plus fans had reacted.
