Federer hopes to kick lung infection before Indian Wells

Dubai, UAE - Roger Federer made a surprise withdrawal from the Barclays Championships Sunday with a lung infection.

But the world number one says doctors expect him to be cured in time to play the Indian Wells Masters from mid-March.

The world number one who has not played since beating Andy Murray for the Australian Open title, picked up the problem in recent days after returning to Switzerland after his Melbourne title, heading to Dubai and and then visiting a school his foundations fund in Ethiopia last week.

'I'm hoping to be back for Indian Well,s' said the 16-time Grand Slam winner. 'But of course there are no promises.

'This is something that with proper treatment will be finished,' said Federer, whose 2008 season was compromised by a case of glandular fever.

'I've been taking it easy, relaxing as much as possible. My breathing is a bit difficult and everything feels a bit slow. I can't take any chances until I'm fit again.

'It could be better, it could be worse.'

The Swiss player's place in the draw for the 500 series event which begins Monday was taken by Spaniard Tommy Robredo.

Federer missed Dubai in 2009 with injury and lost in the first round in 2008. He won the tournament in 2003-2005 and lost the 2006 final to Rafael Nadal.

Federer is due for further medical tests in several week to ascertain his condition. The Swiss said that the illness is much more straightforward than his glandular fever incident.

'I want to get back in shape and get back on court again. Once I'm back I'll be OK again.'

[Aozenee]

Does ATP use a different rule than ITF/Slams? Or why didn't Tsonga (as #5/next highest seed) get Roger's spot in the draw, and Robredo get Tsonga's former spot?

As it stands now, two of the (now) top four seeds are slated to meet in a QF.

Yes, they have different rule. Here the rule that was apply in this case. Robredo " the
next highest positioned player eligible to be seeded" took Federer's place, and a lucky loser took robredo's place

If a seeded player or team withdraws after
the main draw has been made but prior to the release of the order of play for the
first day of main draw, the vacancy created by the withdrawal of a seed shall be
filled by the following method:


a) 16/24 (Doubles)/32/48/64 96 and 128 Draw. The vacancy shall be filled by the
next highest positioned player or team in the main draw eligible to be seeded.
The appropriate lucky loser shall fill the remaining vacancy.
b) 56 Draw. If the vacancy involves a seed #1-8, then seed #9 moves to the vacated
seed position and the next highest positioned player or team in the main
draw eligible to be seeded shall be placed in the position vacated by the #9
seed. The appropriate lucky loser shall fill the remaining vacancy.
If the vacancy involves a seed #9-16, then the next highest positioned player or
team in the main draw eligible to be seeded shall be placed in the vacated seed
position. The appropriate lucky loser shall fill the remaining vacancy. source: atp rulebook http://www.atpworldtour.com/Corporate/Rulebook.aspx 7.20 E
