Roger Federer will lead Switzerland in its Davis Cup clash against Portugal this week along with Stanislas Wawrinka.
Through facebook, Federer announced: “In Bern having a nice time with the Swiss Davis Cup team, walked through the city earlier today.”
The former world number 1 is representing Switzerland for the first time since September 2009, when he helped his nation to a 3-2 victory over Italy.
Federer wants to help his team return to the elite eight-team group. “I've decided I'm going to play the Davis Cup tie in July at home against Portugal,” wrote the Swiss No. 1 on his website. “I'm really looking forward to helping Switzerland begin the process of getting back into the World Group.”
