Will Roger Federer play an event with ATP points in 2022 Day Seven: The Championships - Wimbledon 2022 While the Swiss player's ATP tour comeback will take place at the Laver Cup, his first ATP points event this season will be Swiss Indoors in Basel. The Swiss Indoors is the only points event he has been confirmed to participate in this season, but he could be seen in more tournaments before the season ends, depending on his fitness and performance in Basel. Meanwhile, at the Laver Cup, he will team up with Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Murray, which will be the first-ever instance of the 'Big 4' playing at the team event together. The Swiss player last played in the Laver Cup in 2019, defeating John Isner and Nick Kyrgios in his singles matches.

The 2022 edition will be his fourth appearance at the tournament and he is expected to play doubles matches with either Nadal or Djokovic.
