“I decided to withdraw from Madrid to be with my wife Mirka during the next few weeks, very exciting for our family. I apologize to my fans and I hope to be back in Madrid next year,” wrote the 4th World player on his Facebook account.
Before the withdrawal of Swiss seeded No. 4, it was the World No. 2 Novak Djokovic who withdrew due to injury http://en.africatopsports.com/2014/05/05/madrid-masters-1000-novak-djokovic-withdraws/ .
The withdrawal of Federer is beneficial to the French Gilles that he should faced Wednesday in the second round.
