BASEL, Switzerland (AP) - Roger Federer made a winning return from a six-week break with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Olivier Rochus of Belgium at his hometown Swiss Indoors tournament.
The top-ranked player looked rested and refreshed Monday after last playing Sept. 20, when he helped Switzerland beat Italy in the Davis Cup. He broke Rochus' serve in the sixth game of the first set and fifth game of the second.
"I was eager to come out and play again," Federer said. "It's especially nice to come back on tour with my home tournament where I have so many memories."
